Kindergarten Commission
I figured at first the uptown paper was a little slow on the calendar and this piece must be a belated April Fool’s spoof; but nope – just more proof that with our board of county commissioners, fact is indeed stranger than fiction. In this case, commissioners are considering bringing in a team-building consultant/group dynamic therapist to help the board grapple with its myriad dysfunctions.
Common sense and a little historical perspective could save the board a load of therapy time and public embarrassment. Look no further than the board’s Déjà vu Duo for the root of its current problems. That would be commissioners George Dunlap and Vilma Leake, two poison pill public servants who wrecked similar havoc when they were both on the school board, dragging that body into dysfunctional depths of squabbling, bickering, ignorance, pettiness, and flat-bad government policy.
If anybody needs therapy, it’s the voters who continue to reelect to office these two warped excuses for thinking, rational human beings.
The best team-building exercise the county board could do is to collectively wrestle Dunlap and Leake into a dark corner before each meeting, pump them full of Thorazine, and wheel them out to the dais to sit like stuffed, silent zombies, held harmless to the public.
Problem solved.
