Wow..how do you have Public comments on a $274.2 million School Budget for 2021-22 - without a Budget!?!

 Well, looks like the Edison Board of Mythomania in their indomitable wisdom actually had the nerve to hold a public meeting on the School Budget for 2021-22 without allowing anyone to see the school budget they were commenting on and sending down to the County Super. 

Double Duh!

What we got was Super Dr. Bernie 'Shi-ReferenDUMB-er' Bragen spouting out numbers and comments about the double secret school budget that no one could see and that only makes sense in his own mind.

You can see what their school budget is proposing in the March 17th post below.

Before I go any further, a Big Shout-out to Tony DePasquale for raising questions about the school budget that were clearly relevant and poorly responded to by Super Dr. Bragen. 

Bragen must own a smoke machine or is so afraid of Jerry 'Shi-shed' Shi that he'll agree to anything he wants to do.

So, here's some things you should take away from last night's meeting:

• The taxpayers are being screwed and not getting the school tax rate reduction they should be getting.
• You can't have a Public meeting on the school budget without anyone seeing the budget.
• There's No need for a Finance Committee since Mr. Shi-shed just does what he wants after the Finance Committee meets.
• You can't have a discussion about the school budget if you have to ask all your questions first. That's just Shi's way of blocking any give and take on follow-up questions.
• The School Board doesn't want any public input and treats it as an annoyance. Most of them likely don't even understand the school budget and those that do seem to cower to Jerry Shi.
• Apparently, seems there are double secret committees floating around.
• Anyone who takes the word of this School Board about what's in this school budget they won't show you is being short-sighted and silly.
• Dr. Bragen is a disappointment for going along with this Ridiculous School Budget when he should know better. Of course, he was the 'Fiscal Malfeasance Recipient' of a new contract by the School Board less than a year on the job.

Here's the meeting:

But hey, who needs a School Board Finance Committee to approve anything when you have the inept leadership of Jerry 'Shi-shed' Shi just doing what he wants anyway?!?

Anyhoo, wake-up People and recognize that Edison the Board of Mythomania, aka Board of Ed-Dems is treating you like they always do with this School Budget for 2021-22 - a Big Fat Cash Cow!
