The Flowers follies
Thursday, June 24th, 2010Yes, there’s STILL more in the seemingly never ending saga of the Suburban Cook County Regional Office of Education and the now indicted superintendent, Charles Flowers.
Among other things, there’s the matter of 2500 teacher certifications that have to be done by July 1, which, conveniently, is the date when this office will disappear!!!! Also, there’s the
matter of the $25 checks that the teachers sent in being cashed but nothing in return!
Also, the State Police is owed over $130,000 for background checks that it performed for the office.
Will this crap ever end??? Personally, I hope Flowers relocates to the IDOC for a nice, LONG stay. Hey, mebbe he can link up with Hollis Dorough, the cop from Harvey
that sold a gun, taken in a long running case, BACK to the defendant’s father, allegedly on orders of Mayor Eric Kellogg. However, nothing’s ever been done on that part of
the circus that is Harvey, Illinois.
