I, too, am intensely interested to hear the entire story, as I was unable to make this meeting.

I was at the Board of Supervisors (BOS) meeting last night, and when I saw that the selection of the Republican weighted redistricting plan would prevail despite great opposition by the school board, the NAACP, a huge list of petitioners in favor of a more fair option, and most of the citizens present, I left in despair.

This country has strayed so far from the ideals of our forefathers; and become so entrenched in "returning favors" and taking material offense with anyone opposing what will enhance those in power, that I fear for all our futures.

We have already suffered greatly from the GOP's dominance over those who live with less, whose recovery from financial and health misfortunes is doomed despite urgent measures for that. The continued giving to the rich and taking from the poor grinds on, in favor of those with more.

The banks are running wild with policies they institute in opposition to all established laws, to foreclose on our homes, and even the Supreme Court of this country has been tainted in a past election by misplaced loyalty to the unscrupulous powerful entities.

Schools educate children only to pass SOLs, and "No child Left Behind" has been a screen for spending money for those with influence, even though their interests would be better served in their homes.

I was the nurse assigned to provide nursing "care" for a young man at high school in another state. He had no physical or emotional needs requiring that level of care and would be "graduating" that year, due to his age. Another younger student who was unconscious at all times, deaf, mute and blind, and unable to move on her own, had no nurse. Her parents had no respite other than having her attend a clasds for the disabled. She was dependent on a ventilator to breathe and suctioning when she choked on her saliva. No nurse was assigned to meet her needs; and she went without nursing care there in the public classroom. It was a case of influence over need.

That isn't the only instance of the lack of responsible monitoring for programs, which promotes misuse of expenditures.

Last night's "vote" of the BOS rises only to the aforementioned abominations of justice!
