Fun Was Had by All


First comment on the below board post: Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "Fun Was Had by All":

You have their numbers!

Candy Olson is always out of line. I believe that everyone in the audience and watching on tv could see through her scheme to brown nose with the Superintendent and bash April Griffin in the process. She thought she was being smart, but she was displaying the behavior most employees can't stand about her. You can ask almost any employee in the district about her, and they will all roll their eyes. She talks incessantly at board meetings boring everyone to tears, but if Susan Valdes or April Griffin speak more than five minutes Olson pipes up with how things need to be speeded up. She has no problem with slowing things down to listen to herself speak, but she doesn't want anyone else to do the same. She is the epitome of a hypocrite. Most employees refer to her as "C*&%nty Olson."

Tom Gonzalez sounds so ridiculous. I thought lawyers knew how to handle pressure. He does have a pear shaped body. Instead of eating and drinking he better go to the gym.

Publish this comment.

Here's the excerpt from the Sheriff's report that proves Tom Gonzalez wrong when he said that the Sheriff's report said there was no further danger of harm to the boys whom the King Administrator toe-cracked:

On 61n109, writer spoke with CPl Auza. He advised that he closed his case with Some

Indicators for threatened harm.




Board Meeting August 11 Act I: Sludgeville; Act II; Lobby: Sprightly Agitprop


Minions of the Light, herein my report on August 11 Board meeting:


The main board meeting comprised the usual dais sludge of exchanged compliments and cover-up of board-and-administration skulduggery.


The Elia evaluation commentary raised a little head butting. The superintendent got a B minus, I infer, and Kurdell writhed in obeisance to the greatest leader since Queen Elizabeth, who governed a somewhat larger and more complex populace with an infinitely better hand on the buttons of power.


Kurdell piled it on deep and dense with superlatives about the Leader's manifest virtues and blah, blah, blah.


I have not been able to find the Elia evaluation on the Web, but apparently April Griffin had made a comment in her part of the evaluation that did not accord with Candy Olson's zeig-heil ideas of conformity with the universal praise she believed the Elia evaluation mandated.


So La Candy registered objection that pointed at Griffin's not-one-hundred percent adulatory comment.


Griffin has smartened up and grown tougher since she stormed out early in her board career, slamming the door on Jennifer Homewrecker Fallairo's advice to her to quit unless she could toe the administration line.


Griffin told La Candy that she would prefer to discuss the issue off the board dais.


Undeterred, Candy, the Obtuse, said she would rephrase her question and couched it in the same way for another go at Griffin's lack of Elia-praise orthodoxy.


La Candy revealed that not only do citizens not have free speech before the board but that the elected members do not have free speech on the board either if she can help it.


I laid out the political situation to my husband, 12-year mayor of our little beach town. He said Olson was out of line, that an elected official had the backing of all citizens of the district to speak her piece without making it coincident with the opinions of other members of the board.


But nuance has never been La Candy's strong suit. Outré fashion has been. She adorned herself for the August 11 meeting with a jacket of questionable tailoring that featured giant flowers on a black background that reminded one of a painting by Dali on a bender. The Candy couture amped up the dead-watch guy's template excess.


Contemplating the jacket made one's eyes cross and recross.


Toward the end of the meeting, her too-frequent loquacity urge smote Ms. Candy so as to prick her to drone on for a full twenty minutes about utter twaddle. She told us how capacious and catholic were her reading habits.


Such was news to people who have capacious and catholic reading habits. I never heard Ms. Candy quote Thucydides or even Foucault. All I have heard is her nattering concerns about this and that tremendous trifle of school-board lore probably gleaned from board publications that land in her mailbox from the hills and dales of school systems in the outback of education around the country.


These incestuous morsels should serve as banter in the board rec room, not as download on the long-suffering general public, bored out of its mind with lower-quartile board palaver. If La Candy discussed the criminal deportment of the Professional Standards office of her girlfriend La Kipley, that would grab attention. She claims Kipley's home-ec certificate is just dandy for judging teachers' behavior and ethics and cooking up cases against them. That I suggested a philosophy degree as a credible one for the Kipley sinecure enraged Candy at a past meeting, to which I point out that Aristotle and his chums across the intellectual heavens don't need Candy's support.


Fashion semblable to Candy, girlfriend Kipley affected a bizarre choice of on-the-job shoeware. As a change from the red stiletto bedroom slippers she has been known to wear that slap her heels audibly when she minces hither and yon in the board room, on the 11th Kipley wore a pair of plastic see-through Dolly-Parton high heels that showed her foot, corns not excluded.


Perhaps this was in tribute to the King High foot fetishist toe-cracker of hapless students in the closed environs of his office-psychosexual-acting-out lair.


By far the liveliest of the board commentary came at Citizens' Comment time at back-door end of the festivities. I gave the lot hell on the failure to protect students from a probable foot fetishist and order him to psychiatric evaluation. Then, half facing board and audience, Goader gave his maiden presentation, citing the invidious comparison of the way board and administration kept him in lockdown for a year for a child-abuse accusation by Morris and Smiley that the Sheriff's office threw out the same day Judas Smiley skulked down to file it in his bucking-for-a-promotion campaign to the sacred halls of ROSSAC's demons of teacher bashing.


Finally, Bart Birdsal did his more-in-sorrow-than-in-anger buck and wing on his "Let's-all-just-get-along" motif. Bart reigns a practiced guilt inducer who should give seminars on the skill.


Stung by my aside to him when I spoke that it was about time he earned his money for adorning the board dais as the putative attorney by commenting on things such as the psychiatric referral of the King High administrative toe-cracker of male youth, Tom Gonzalez delivered a windy soliloquy in which he gave the truth a drubbing on the twin cases of Goader's faux child-abuse charge, cooked up by Smiley, Morris, and Kipley for fun and profit, and the Toe-Cracker whitewash for the apparently psychologically deviant guy preying on pubescent boys at King High behind the closed door of his office of authority and not referred to a psychiatrist for evaluation by the board, Ms. Elia, or any of the demons that inhabit the inner recesses of the ROSSAC administrative psyche in their airless hellhole of malignity.


But things waxed lively in the Lobby Agitprop that unfolded at the end of the board meeting.


I exited after listening to Le Gonzalez's Parthion tissue of misinformation and abuse of truth and the English language. I had to get home to the beach to cook dinner for my grumpy old man of almost 53 years like all liberated women do.


Goader accompanied me through the swinging doors from the board room to the lobby.


There stood Ms. Griffin and Mr. Gonzales in lively colloquy.


They engaged in heated tête-à-tête on some disputed subject. The beauteous Tom Gonzalez apparently undertook energetic rebuttal of what Griffin said. He monopolized the exchange and was visibly upset with whatever Griffin had said to him. He was in tense hyper defense mode, a posture he has seldom had to assume before with a somnolent board for the 37-plus years of his company's bid-free franchise on the tax gravy train the board gives him despite his louche service.


As Le Gonzalez wheeled away from Griffin in a fury, Goader thrust the newspaper statement, pointing out that in the Toe-cracking Caper the newspaper said that there were unresolved issues of abuse according to the Sheriff's Toe-cracker Report just as there were in the Goader child-abuse accusation. Le Gonzalez had lied about this fact in his podium windbaggery.


Counselor Gonzalez snapped, "The paper is wrong," whereupon Goader said in disbelief, "Does that mean the paper printed misinformation?'


Not answering, Counselor Gonzalez sped past him but swam into my orbit, where I began, "Tom...", which prompted him to ejaculate," "I am not talking to YOU!" in one of those spittle-sprayed hisses that make you fear you may have contracted attorney-borne diseases of disrepute and incurability.


"But Tom," I called to his departing back as he headed for the safety beyond the swinging doors of the board room, his pear-shaped body assuming a semi-crouch of purpose to escape us, "YOU'RE LYING!"


The which comment made him wheel on his heel to stalk up to me, belly foremost, and bellow, "Don't you ever call me a liar again Nobody calls me that!"


He turned on his heel and again headed for the board doors.


"But Tom," I called after him, "you are lying." As he wheeled to face me, I said, "So punch me in the nose."


At this invitation, he twirled and sped through the board doors to safety, spatting over his shoulder, "I am not going to punch an old woman"; or maybe he said, "I am going to punch an old woman." I preferred the latter both rhetorically and actually. My ten grandchildren would be enchanted if a board attorney punched their granny in the nose and she lodged assault-and- battery charges against the legal firebrand. That punch would have assured my place in family legend for centuries to come. And it would have ended the Gonzalez firm's franchise on the board-attorney job.


Think of the fun to be had from the School Board attorney's

punching in the nose a woman the age of his mother. His sexist, ageist remark put all old ladies in the contemptible pile of women who had borne society's children, raised them, and sent them into the world to make it a better place. I wonder if his wife knows what contempt he has for old women, including her when she gets old. Such men turn to women closer their age in the teenage steno pool and desert the old wife.



Mr. Gonzalez spat out his contempt for all of us old women, who, he implied, should just roll over and die and not rebuke him for lying about two Professional Standards cases in the corrupt system of the ROSSAC characters bent on holding on to their power no matter the means, including the dicey counsel of Attorney Gonzalez, who plays fast and loose with the truth.


Tom probably drowned his rage in the chips and cola he regularly wolfs down on the podium during board discussions, objective correlative to his contempt for his job.


I may have to rat him out to Mother Gonzalez. No mother wants a son to act in such a contemptible, uncontrolled manner in the pursuit of his job in public.


In his board soliloquy of half-truths and outright lies, Tom tried to terrify Goader by pulling the rug out from under his reinstatement, saying Goader did not have to accept the Board's offer, that he could always demand a hearing before the board, meanwhile Gonzalez's never having delivered the summary statement of Goader's case that Ms. Cobbe, of Public Affairs, said he was authoring.


One wonders what takes the reluctant author so long on this page-long epistle. It is not The Divine Comedy.


I wish Goader would demand that hearing. It would be SRO. I would bring a bedroll. And then for a Cinderlla ending, Goader should mount a big, gaudy lawsuit against Gonzalez and the board.


The jury would make short shrift of Gonzalez and his board clients as the jury did in the Erwin whistle-blowing case. Average people know liars on the witness stand when they see them. The jury would catch on fast to the corrupt display of the foul behavior of the administration, board, and Special-ed imps of evil, not to mention the mendacious board attorney. The board and administration would be stripped of their prequisites of threatening to fire anybody who opposed them for being the vile malefactors they are in abusing their role as the guardians of the community's precious children.


Whatever happens, there is one old woman who lives on the Gulf of Mexico who will trundle over in her ancient Mercedes to the board meetings to give these small-minded, power-obsessed crooks hell and will continue to work for Mr. Gonzalez's dismissal and the advertisement of the job so that the board can get a lawyer with more respect for the truth and more reluctance to crafting a false tale on board matters to cover his and the board's gluteals to disguise their guilt and his cover-ups in board affairs so as to keep his job.


This August 11 display was coincident with Gonzalez's obscene method in the crucifixion of Mr. Irwin, whose court records show that Gonzalez played a major part in the Dr.- Lennard-and -thugs torture of Erwin, attempting to fire him and deprive him of his pension.


Beating up on the truth is still this board attorney's mode. He is too old and too small-minded to change.


The question is whether the current board members care or not that their attorney tells lies in constructing the board record for the community's bafflement, not its enlightenment, and whether he tries to blackmail a savaged teacher, one Steve Kemp aka Goader, in whose torture Gonzalez has played a major part.

SHOWTIME!

Council-of-Trent-School-Board Mafia Listens to Steve Kemp's Riposte as the Worm Turns

Red Alert! Lee said, "Bart, if you have time, point out that the sheriff dismissed Steve's case days after Smiley filed it...."

Goader Comments: Wrong! The sheriff dismissed my case the same day [Judas] Smiley reported it. [In fact], The Sheriff's office dismissed the charge within a couple of hours after its report.
Goader

Today at five p.m. in the foul crooks-at-work chamber of the School Board, Goader, who spent over a year in suspension for a charge the sheriff dismissed the same day La Ross sent Judas Supervisor Smiley to file it at the sheriff's office, addresses the board and the public on the gross disparity of the Professional Standards' treatment of his sheriff-dismissed case compared to the case of the psychosexually perverse foot fondling administrator at King High School. lee

Rally Round the Flag; Lock and Load



8/10/2009

Chairperson Kurdell:

I have signed up for the 8/11 meeting to comment on two items in the agenda listed for citizen comment besides the general citizen comment at the end.


You have evolved a suppression of my right to free speech by first filibustering to drown out my comments on the board's unfair hiring practices when I was at the mike--the hiring, for example, of Linda Kipley's husband to an accounting position for which he had no experience and only a high school degree compared to three candidates who had bachelor's accounting degrees and experience.


You then amped up your resistance to my free speech by interrupting me constantly about whether my comments were confined to the subject.


Finally, you and Steve Hegarty, Community Affairs, teamed up for Steve to confiscate my sign-ups to speak and for this sycophantic twerp to come tell me in the audience that "they" had decided that I didn't know what I was talking about" and "made no sense."


Where in the Constitution does it say a citizen must "make sense" when she approaches elected officials for redress of grievances?


This attack on me is a version of your attack on Mr. Erwin by spreading the rumor he was crazy when he tried to get Dr. Lennard and the board to do something about the crime on campus. In my case, you imply I am in throes of Alzheimer's because I am old. In the Erwin case, the group of administrators and board members who were profiting from the crooked doings labeled Mr. Erwin crazy because they didn't want the payoffs to them to stop. In my case you want to continue your crooked hiring to secure power within the crooked system you and others have crafted over the years.


If you pull any deals with that forlorn twerp Hegarty as your message boy at the 8/11 board meeting to suppress my free-speech rights, I will summon the help of the ACLU, the Attorney General, and the Governor to begin with. Then I move up, into, and across the highways and byways of the school authority apparatus to make your un-American activities widely known.


I would be a bad citizen if I did not oppose a school board bent on retaining its years of unquestioned corruption of power if I allowed you to trash the First Amendment to keep a citizen from criticizing your thuggish leadership. I will resist your attack on American democracy as a good citizen should. We can't keep democracy as our form of government if we let corrupt small-bore pols lurking on school boards destroy it without our protests. I will fight for our way of life.

I Bet This Riles Up the Blogaroos


Ms. Creamcheese is our original blogger celebrity. One could call La
Creamcheese the ur-blogger for the schools' teachers. She blogged first.

I don't quite understand if this is SCreamcheese's sentiments or if she is alluding to someone else's opinion. I am already having comments piling up. They will eventually appear at the bottom of the page.

Freedom of speech, remember, is the right to disagree.

It may be hard to "google" those words because they have been "interpreted".

"I’d certainly never deny anyone else the right to use fertilization.

Or would I?

When people suggest that income levels or the fact that the couple already has children or maybe even marital status should be taken into account when determining a candidate for IVF - it sounds reasonable to me. I’ve said before that IN THEORY not only should poor people not breed, but neither should people who are ill (mentally or physically), developmentally delayed, or have a host of other problems that would prevent them from being responsible parents.

Of course, I’d prefer these were choices such people made and not anything legislated, but doctors should play a part in the process. They should be concerned with helping reasonable people bring children into this world, but also should help protect the world by turning some patients away."

ask wayne garcia. It's in creative loafing. A group of disabled people with children called to raise hell about it and were treated very rudely by kate's 'editor'.. certainly it's in the online copy. It's definitely in the paper copy. I READ IT. She scribbled it there under wayne's byline.

Lee, I only wanted you to publish the comment in the comments. LOL. Where it says publish or email?
I'll give some consideration to opening a blog. You can also reference other bloggers for kate's infamy of encouraging plastic surgery. sticks of fire for one.

A Call for Vox to Mount Up and Ride His Very Own Blog



See, Vox, you already have one reader, and I am a second. You know about things that I don't. So you owe it to your public to mount a blog "Vox Populi" to spread the word.

I tried the phrase the reader inquired about in the search engines. No luck. lee

Dear Ms. Obama:

Frank Rich's column in the NYT this Sunday "Is Obama Punking Us?" deeply disturbed me.

How could the president cut a deal with those wicked drug companies to limit their losses in a new health-care plan? Are these people in the industrial giant world more powerful than the president?

Why does a person run for president if he is not going to serve the people but the industrial robber barons?

Still Plugging Away at Extracting the Kemp Case from Linda Cobbe of the Public Information Office

Ms. Elia's Dog

Linda,


In the Kemp file that you sent me, a list of documents appears on a page entitled "investigation."


The first document is Hilllsborough Sheriff's Police Report Number 08-400025; the second document listed is a two-page written document by ESE supervisor Ron Smiley.


Then the teacher Mufero document is listed in the third place. It's there.


The Report 08-40025 is missing from the packet as is the two-page written product of Ron Smiley.

Could you supply me with those, please?

ldd


Urgent Message from Vox Populi: Faites Attention!


Vox, I am putting this frontpage as you requested.

I tell you what: you know a lot of things I don't. Your survey powers are greater than mine. You need to start your own blog, then just lock and load and fire at will. I will read you faithfully and pick up on anything that pertains to the schools to pursue.

I feel now that I am fighting on all fronts of the schools. They are my specialty because I was a college professor during most of my work life. I know the education racket inside out.

But you are a polymath of evil. You tell me about things going on in the Bay Area that I don't know diddly about. Start up your blog on Blogspot. Call it Vox Populi. That is an inspired name. I will read it every day and be your most devoted fan.

You don't have a paying job, do you? I don't see how you can and keep up with all the events you have in your duffle bag.

I will send this to Goader. He is on a learning curve in the racket of civil rights. Let's cut him a little slack. He is my Great White Hope to take over the monitoring of the school system. Then I can retire to going to opera productions around the globe and needlepointing more rugs and pillows for my grandchildren as all proper grannies do.

But never forget that you have a supporter of you and your nascent blog in me. Buddies, to the end, Granny and Vox: the litigious duo of age and beauty.

Fight on, Vox. The fight for a better world is what we should commit our lives to.

Once more into the breach.

With love, admiration, and undying support,

Granny Lee

lee is goader KIDDING??? HE is over at katherine durkin robinson's blog making nice with a woman who can't keep her clothes on .. raises her children to hate and also wrote point blank in creative loafing that ONLY RICH UNDISABLED PEOPLE should have children. Go read it right there in black and white. Not only that but she used to pull some pretense about sticking up for teachers and standing up to maryEllen elia only I notice she never got called on the carpet. EVER. hmmm. She's a trash blogger and she has talked of students' personal lives on her blog and been called out for it. By REAL bloggers. I would think that goader might take heed that it's very possible that backstabbers and faux FEMINISTS such as kate are very much part of the problem of the setups and backstabbings at the schools. NO ONE who claims to be a feminist constantly takes their clothes off on their blog and degrades women while stating in CREATIVE LOAFING that ONLY THE RICH SHOULD HAVE CHILDREN. Goader, don't let the fake tits and the fake smile and umm the fake GUTS fool you ....
I"m kinda disgusted. Kate's husband and she make a FINE LIVING FROM WAR so it's a conflict of interest for her to promote don't ask don't tell. PLEASE PUBLISH THIS rather than replying through email.

When in Doubt, Pull Up to Your Computer and Pour It All Out




Office of the General Counsel
Department of Children and Families
1317 Winewood Blvd
Building 2, Room 204
Tallahassee, Florida 32399-0700

8/4/2009


Dear Counselor:


I don't know the chain of command in the child-protection agency, but I found your name on the Web as the attorney for the child-protection district of Hillsborough County, and since your title sounds authoritative, I shall write you to see if you can intervene on the side of children's safety in Hillsborough County.



I enclose a letter to Sheriff Gee, Hillsborough County, regarding a strange assistant principal at King High School who called boys in his office, had them take off their shoes and socks behind closed doors, and popped their toes. I don't know if the child-protection investigators that work out of the Sheriff's office are part of the orthodox child-protection state apparatus or not. But in this toe-cracking case, I submit that they have done their job ill and betrayed the children's safety.



A teacher called me about two months ago and cited the situation saying one of the mothers of these boys was very upset and asked me what to do. I said to get in touch with the Secretary of Education, that the board and administration were not interested in the safety of children despite their political slogans but in presenting a picture to the public of how wonderful the board and administration run the schools, evidence to the contrary.


A few days ago the enclosed article appeared in the SPTimes. A similar one appeared in the Tribune.


The thing that astonished and upset me was the investigating agencies' response to this outrageous case of foot fetishism in the public schools pursued by a member of the administration for over two and a half years without the administration- oversight people's discovering it. All investigative efforts pooh-pooh the toe-cracking's significance, saying it did not rise to the level of assault.


Perhaps it doesn't, although I think making male students take off their shoes and socks in his office so that he could manipulate their feet for what I infer to be the supervisor's psychosexual gratification is assault in my book. It is certainly assault on the boys' psyches.


One of my grandsons called the behavior "sicko." And sicko it probably is: this behavior suggests pediatric pedophilia, yet not only the sheriff's department but also the attorney general's office misread the situation either from ignorance or pretended ignorance by saying it didn't rise to the level of assault, studiously avoiding mental assault. They kicked it over to the School Board for resolution.


Not a chance of concern about safety of the children from the School Board or administration.


The School Board of Hillsborough County and the Professional Standards Office have a history of using that office to cow teachers into silence about the way the higher-ups misrun the schools. The administration blows small gestures up or invents wrongdoing by teachers whole cloth to keep them subdued. They want the teachers and their students to provide the tax money for them to manipulate power and act like Lords of the Universe and to just tote that barge and lift that bale and shut up.



The administration and board caterwaul about student safety all the time on the political podium, but they let a case like this pass as innocuous fun behavior on the part of an administrator. Their main interest is to maintain the ignorance of the public on how they misrun the schools, use the Professional Standards office that is run by a home-ec- degreed woman to coerce teachers with the fear of losing their jobs, and insure that only laundered information gets fed the public by the Public Affairs Laundromat about the way the schools neglect the safety of children as this toe-cracker case well illustrates.


I think the blasé attitude toward this unhealthy administrative behavior constitutes discrimination against boys. Boys have to maintain stoic toughness when girls get to cry and complain. If boys complain, they get the label of sissies. That's probably why these boys put up with this toe-cracking invasion of their privacy and the integrity of their bodies for two and a half years while the on-site administrators such as the principal turned a blind eye. If girls were lured to behind closed doors to take off their shoes and socks so that what my grandson calls a "sicko" could manipulate their toes, I suggest that there would have been a different response to this unseemly behavior of an administrator who has been forgiven and allowed to go forward with the flowering of this pedophilia activity until it ends in lord knows what.


I have a grandson in the Hillsborough County school system, Counselor. For his sake and for the sake of the other boys in the school system in regard to whom the School Board that preaches child safety in prepared political statements on the board dais but does nothing when a perilous case of administrative behavior comes before them, that you discover a way to help these boys. I urge you to find an avenue to get this administrator referred to a psychiatrist for an evaluation of this psychosexual fetish so that the board can be forced to present these data to the public in order that the public can ascertain the degree to which the School Board exercises vigilance and protects the county's children's safety.


Thank you.

Respectfully,


Lee Drury De Cesare

Public Information: Thank God for the Legislator Who Passed This Law

Hillsborough Council of Trent Board
Hillsborough
Council-of-Trent Board Convenes to Investigate the Professional-Standards Violations of Teachers Real or Manufactured


Ms. Cobbe: I would like the last two end-of-case letters sent by Ms. Kipley to administrators whom she investigated.

I also request the number of teachers and number of
administrators against whom Ms. Kipley has investigated charges in the past two years.

Thank you for this public information. Lee
Drury De Cesare

Pressing the case on the Goader Crucifixion Records


Ms. Cobbe:

I await your tally of the number of Professional Standards cases for which Mr. Gonzalez has written the terminal letter instead of Ms. Kipley.

What is taking Mr. Gonzalez so long to get this letter written? This editorial sloth confirms my repeated recommendation that the board fire him.

I have had experience with Mr. Gonzalez's footdragging on promised documents. He promised both me and Bart Birdsall that he would write a handout to go to teachers who landed in the Professional Standards juggernaut for teachers to cite the measures they could take to protect themselves.

Two years later, I and Birdsall await that letter.

I suggest that the board and administration overrates Mr. Gonzalez's legal talents. He's a C student at best. I am a teacher: I know all the hallmarks of a C student. Mr. Gonzalez exhibits all of them. And his eating chips and drinking soft drinks on the podium during meetings show that he hasn't any idea of attorney protocol to make the board look like a serious body. I may have to turn him in for this on-the-job gaucherie to the Ethics Commission of the Florida Bar, to which he is no ornament.

Give me an estimated time of completion for Mr. Gonzalez's substitute summary statement outlining the Steve Kemp put-up case. I predict it will be full of holes that I will delight in pointing out.

The board and Ms. Elia should have bethought themselves before allowing this false case against Kemp to go forward and to keep him on suspension for a year. Nothing shows more clearly that the board and administration are in over their heads in the management department.

Bottom Line: Pray yield me a due date that I can expect Tom Gonzalez's summary of the Kemp crucifixion will be forthcoming. I am sure that the governor, the governor's task force on child abuse, the attorney general just foaming at the mouth for an election issue such as this, and the head of the Child Protection Services statewide will read Mr. Gonzalez's lucubrations on the Kemp case with great interest. I will.
