Georgia senior assistant attorney general Stefan Ritter has demanded an explanation from the Clayton County School Board regarding recent allegations that they illegally closed meetings. During those meetings the hiring of temporary superintendent John Thompson was discussed, who it has now been revealed can take up to 45% of his contracted paid time on vacation. Yes, that’s 45%. Smooth move, guys.
Meanwhile, the fallout from the “stupid bomb” that has struck Clayton County again reached the dysfunctional City of Lithonia where their municipal court judge, John Roberts, has abruptly resigned.
[UPDATE]: The AJC is now reporting that “James E. Bostic Jr. and William “Brad” Bryant, two state Board of Education members appointed to help Clayton, announced this morning they would no longer work with the Clayton County School Board.”

Well duh, Rogue. What the hell was John Roberts doing serving on municipal court anyway? The Supreme Court is in session and he doesn’t need to be dividing up his attention between SCOTUS and Municipal Court.

John: LOL, no. Putting the posts together really doesn’t take much time at all. In fact, I’ve got two more posts already done and in the hopper which I’ll throw up later today. It’s all smoke and mirrors…

I say we take a page out of Family Guy and remove Clayton County from the United States. They can have their own version of “Petoria.”

What would it take to just dissolve the entire Clayton county government and merge it into the eminently better managed Fulton County?

(must….bite tongue…and fingers…to prevent an incendiary comment regarding the possibilty that this Clayton County matter may be the result of “new folks in charge” deciding to reward “one of their own” regardless of qualifications…because that comment will likely result in idiotic statements from Farris and Konop….)
