  1. So if you don't believe a long time, well known, and powerful government school superintendent like Mr. Killion holds significant sway over whoever is sitting on the WL government school board then you are more naive concerning power and politics than I thought.
  2. No. If the $1 gets the Charter schools "in the door" and parents see them as ultimately superior to traditional government schools, then the traditional government schools will eventually wither away and die, then the charter schools will be shown up by the 100% private/parochial schools, then the ultimate goals of getting government out of the K-12 education business altogether can be achieved.
  3. And Mr. Killion wants to keep it that way, primarily to keep potential Charter schools out of the WL government school district. Hence his desire to overturn the law.
  4. It does if may help help with your ultimate goal. Just playing the long game, Irishman. So you approve of public education buildings sitting vacant and not allowing charter school to use them in an attempt to reduce school choice. Got it.
  5. Yes, I did read the article. Did you? FTA: So Mr. Killion would rather keep the public Happy Hollow building unused than allow a Charter school to use it, as allowed by current state law. This, IMHO, is a blatant attempt to reduce school choice within the West Lafayette Government School Corporation geographical area.
  6. I fail to see how this is exploitation by for-profit charter schools. It was the lawmakers supposed mistake, not the for-profit charter schools. Does the parent really care if a charter school is for-profit or not if it provides the quality education the parent seeks for his child? Again, this is just a maneuver by Mr. Killion to reduce school choice within the geographical boundaries of the West Lafayette Government School Corporation. It is clear from his past rhetoric the Mr. Killion hates charter schools and what they represent, real parent choice of where their taxpayer funds go.
  7. So all Charter schools are for-profit enterprises? You sure about that? And what exactly is "fair market" about a building paid for by public funds in the first place?
  8. Does the Charter school not accept taxpayer money in order to educate it's students, Irishman? Glad you agree with my assessment, that it is to destroy Charter schools and preserve the government school hegemony, aka remove school choice from the parents as much as possible.
  9. I know what lean manufacturing is, I have worked at such facilities. The NHK facility in Frankfort makes all the seats for the Subaru plant in Lafayette; the seats are built mere hours before they are installed in a vehicle so they effectively have no inventory. If the Subaru plants builds cars on a Saturday, NHK also works on a Saturday. When the Subaru plant has it's two week summer shutdown NHK is shutdown as well. I was just curious as to exactly how lean manufacturing has been so profitable for Gonzo.
  10. Beto O'Rourke: 'Hell Yes, We're Going To Take Your AR-15': https://reason.com/2019/09/12/beto-orourke-hell-yes-were-going-to-take-your-ar-15/ But O'Rourke also promised that he would make the process an inclusive one, saying that he would "bring everyone in America into the conversation: Republicans, Democrats, gun-owners, and non-gun-owners alike." Other candidates on the stage Thursday night were less interested in what their opponents—or the Constitution—might have to say. Moments before O'Rourke's comments, former Vice President Joe Biden had challenged Sen. Kamala Harris (D–Calif.) about the unconstitutionality of her promise to issue an executive order that would limit access to guns during her first 100 days in office. In response, the former prosecutor literally laughed. Biden said a president has "no constitutional authority" to ban guns via executive order—a rare moment in which one of the candidates on stage admitted there are limitations to presidential power. "Some things you can [do with executive orders]; many things you can't," said Biden. "I would just say, 'Hey, Joe, instead of saying "No we can't," let's say "Yes, we can,"'" retorted Harris, borrowing President Barack Obama's famous campaign line. Then she cackled hysterically while Biden responded "let's be constitutional." .... O'Rourke's idea of forcing Americans to sell their guns to the government has a similar gaping hole in it. What about the people who don't want to sell? As Jon Stokes, one of the founders of Ars Technica and one of the people behind opensourcedefense.org, a post-culture war gun rights collective, recently wrote at Reason, gun buyback programs are mostly futile: Promising to smash the Second Amendment and laughing at the right of Americans to protect their homes and loved ones, while being unable to fully think through the implications of gun confiscation plans? That's an interesting strategy for turning red states blue. Good luck with that plan Mr. O'Rourke.
  11. https://www.jconline.com/story/news/2019/09/12/west-lafayette-schools-sue-indiana-call-1-charter-law-unconstitutional-land-grab/2273698001/ Mr. Killon will do most anything to protect the government school hegemony, and his job.
  12. Probably, but I've slept since then and really don't care all the much about Mr. Reid, whoever he is.
  13. https://deadspin.com/the-nfl-has-a-painkiller-crisis-that-it-never-wants-to-1838065948 Yep, the NFL runs on opioids.
  14. Yes, but I didn't think this was him: http://www.mrroryreid.com/
  15. Ok, thanks. He is one of Dante's buddies. That explains everything.
  16. Elizabeth Warren proposes major expansion of Social Security: https://www.cnn.com/2019/09/12/politics/elizabeth-warren-social-security-expansion-plan/index.html Well we now know who some on this forum on going to vote for for POTUS in 2020.
  17. Thank you, but that really doesn't tell me who exactly Mr. Reid is.
  18. Sorry I don't know who that is, other the name "Rory Reid" is in the picture filename you uploaded.
