Jerry Shi's Farewell Board of Ed Meeting and Doug 'the Barista' Schneider is obviously missing the 'Class' gene

 Well, watched the final meeting of the year for the Edison Board of Mythomania which also happened to be Jerry Shi and Mohin Patel's last meeting as Board Members.

Now clearly, I'm not a fan of Jerry Shi's 10-year tenure on the Board for all the reasons I've stated in this blog over the years. The best thing I can say about him is that he's gone but that's just my opinion as a Resident/taxpayer of his dismal presence, demeanor and performance over the years.

However, I'm not a Board Member and no matter how vehemently one Board Member may disagree with another Board Member, surely you can find something nice to say when someone's term is up.

Which brings me last night's meeting where all Board Members had an accolade or two to share about Mr. Shi - except for Doug 'the Barista' Schneider who couldn't find anything to say and sat there silently.

Seems Mr. Schneider doesn't follow the basic civility Rule to Never Rain on Anyone's Parade or Kick Them when They're Down and that's too Bad. Surely, he could have found something to say after so many years dishing dirt at each other in the political muck and mire that is now the Edison Board of EdDems.

But he didn't and that shows you the Class of the People You elect to the Board of EdDems and who they're serving.

Geez, even I can find something that Jerry Shi and I agree on - when Former Board Member Ralph Errico was complimenting Mr. Shi on their service together and he thanked Mr. Shi for letting him have that awful shade of Red Baseball field at EHS, even I agree with Mr. Shi that it's horrendous and, as I told Mr. Errico back then, for $1.5 million we should of at least gotten a Refund for that Eye-Blinding Shade of Red.

Anyway, here's the meeting:

Anyhoo, let's hope they select an 'Adult' to be the next Board of Mythomania, aka Board of EdDems, Board of Hoarders, Board of Dysfunction President come January - if they can find one.
