Will The Pall Never Lift From The Side Of Monroe North Of Forsythe?

Will the pall never lift from the side of Monroe north of Forsythe? They woke up Wednesday morning to an above-the-fold 8 X 10 of school board member Mrs. Brenda Shelling hugging, have you, the neck of the new superintendent of the Monroe City School System--the fired-twice old superintendent of the Monroe City School System!

What is a body on the side of Monroe north of Forsythe to do? It surely shakes their faith in old man Machiavelli who, of course, currently resides among the-powers-that-be on the side of Monroe north of Forsythe.

You see, Ms. Shelling was quite literally wined and dined at the fashionable Sage Restaurant by the side of Monroe north of Forsythe to get her vote to fire the superintendent, and she did it once, along with the Rev. Rodney McFarland, 5-2 Then Rev. McFarland reversed his vote on a second vote, but Ms. Shelling stuck with the side of Monroe north of Forsythe, 4-3. Moving forward, you say?

So let’s get a gaggle of people—some who don’t even live in Monroe-- to spend a lot of time searching for a new superintendent, pay the interview expenses of a bunch of gullible candidates, and pay an old member of the school board (OldMSB) from the side of Monroe north of Forsythe an annualized salary of $112,000 to jerk their collective chains. A formula for success, you say?

Then Wednesday night forsaking the advisory committee’s time, the search expenses, the jerk your chain OldMSB’s expenses, all of her gifts, favors and gift-givers, Mrs. Shelling votes to keep the superintendent she voted twice to fire. As the Sage once said, “The best laid plans of mice and men (and Machiavelli) often go awry".
