Good Thursday morning. Also in today's edition, ICE is picking up immigrants at the regional jail but staying away from the courthouse; budget for sports center authority approved.
Icenhour and McGlennon use terms that don't align with reality. They call reducing the cost of a proposed project "savings," but it's more accurately "cost avoidance." Savings is when the County spends, say, $1 million on an ongoing service and finds a way to spend $900,000 instead, freeing up funds to repurpose or return to taxpayers. Cost avoidance, on the other hand, means a future project costs less than initially planned, requiring fewer dollars taken from taxpayers.
By their logic, their fault is just thinking too small. Why not propose a $100 million library, then scale it back to $40 million? That creates $60M out of thin air that they can repurpose. We need Supervisors with business experience who understand budgeting and treat taxpayer money responsibly, not career politicians who view public funds as their own.
I mean when I asked several months ago they said nothing has happened and the issue has not come up in school board meetings. School offices have a shortened workweek so I can't reach anyone until Monday to ask.

Can you follow up with WJCC schools and find out if any kids and families have disappeared? 👀
I'll ask but it has not surfaced as an issue.
That’s a weird thing for a journalist to say. 👀

I just heard from the superintendent, they've had no issues with any ICE visits at the school.
