This is ultimately what it comes down to, and LaGrange said as much when she was a school board trustee herself. And I get that when you're working for a school board you have to say you need more money, and when you get appointed to a government position you have to say there is no more money, and if that was the extent of the rhetoric I wouldn't have a problem with either side in this particular spat. But acting like this is a problem caused by the current trustees or that they should be able to easily fix it is where I think the government is out of line.
