Brickbat: Prior Experience

In Georgia, DeKalb County school superintendent Devon Horton has resigned effective November 15 after being indicted on 17 federal counts over an alleged kickback scheme in a previous job. Prosecutors say between 2020 and 2023, while serving as superintendent of the Evanston–Skokie School District in Illinois, Horton steered more than $280,000 in contracts to friends in exchange for $80,000 in kickbacks. The DeKalb school board accepted Horton's resignation and placed him on paid leave.

Clearly this isn't the good kind of corruption like the kind Tom Homan engaged in or like Trump gearing up to steal $230M of taxpayer money.

[Adans smith]

Yes, everything is about Trump. Damn you people are insufferable.

[Chumby]

End all coerced taxpayer money being sent to public school.

[AT]

Paid leave.

Forget it Jake, it's Blue County.

Metro ATL counties Fulton, Gwinnett, and DeKalb and the City of Atlanta have long been known as fully corrupt in their governance. Multiple FBI investigations, multiple indictments, multiple convictions for bribery and kickbacks. No surprise at all.

The DeKalb school board accepted Horton's resignation and placed him on paid leave.

Only in the public-sector can one resign and be placed on paid leave
