I also was amused by Faliero's off mic comment, which was audible. I can't quote it verbatim, but essentially she said to Lamb: Can we wrap this up? I want to go to the mall, my daughter and I. Nice to know where our district fits in your list of priorities, Ms. Faliero.

How many people heard Lamb whispering instructions to Falliero on how to evict April Griffin from the meeting when Falliero was chair and Griffin was trying to get an exception to the travel rule so that she could flit off some place outside the new rules that the taxpayers outcry made come into effect when people found out Susan Valdes had spent $50,000 in junketing on the tax dime with thousands of children unable to participate in classes for want of the supplies they needed but that their families could not afford?
Faliero and Valdes argued as I have never seen them do about school business. The only time they get exercised is when something concerns their perquisites for holding the exalted office of school board member.
April was determined to get special treatment, and Falliero was determined to put her in her place as gavel-wielding chair. Lamb--always carrying water for the administration--was trying to coach Faliero in the language of evicting a member according to Roberts Rules. He hates Griffin but isn't man enough to say so out loud so that everybody can hear him.
I asked my mayor-for-ten-years husband if the chair could evict an elected official. He said, no, that is not possible under Robert's or any rules. Nobody ever said this gang of incompetents would ever value their job enough to learn Roberts Rules.
They prefer operatic screaming to get their point across and to hell with Roberts Rules.
