I would be willing to wager that the total prize money ($5,000) is LESS THAN CU Mortgage Direct spends on pencils for their entire staff every fiscal year.
It would still be demeaning as hell for the teachers, but are we seriously expected to believe that CU Mortgage Direct couldn't have dumped $100 bills (aka Franklins) on the ice instead of singles? That their entire marketing/public relations budget isn't larger than $500,000? If so, they're buying off the really cheap congresspersons, who will flip past their votes as soon as someone offers them $2.00 per.
My (now retired) sister was a teacher in a well-off Detroit suburban district. They had a new HS building, but they didn't give the teacher a desk, just a table. They "allowed" the teachers to have desks if they bought them on their own. So, apparently, as public workers, they were allowed to buy items at a government surplus warehouse. So she went with fellow teachers to pick out supplies. She found a desk she liked - it had "U.S. Marines" stenciled on the side.
She also bought paperback books out of pocket (20+ copies of each title). She had them in a shelf and during parent conferences, would put up a sign that read "NOT PAID FOR BY TAXPAYERS".
you got what you voted for then...
Good.
Shame still exists.
He figured out the MIC a little too late.

"ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED"!
Shit, he was a General of the Army first.
"Civilized" isn't what they were going for. I think 'Roman Colosseum' was more like it
"Are you not entertained??"
Bread and circuses.

This is effing disgraceful.
And yet property tax reform in MI was supposed to "fix" this, right? Oh, no it was just to limit increases and have carve-outs for rich schools.

Yes, and it was Gig Young, not Robert Goulet, that I was thinking of.

If the US doesn't keep making fancier war machines then how are we going to stay ahead of the war machines we sell to our (current) friends?
