I thought this one might get a response from my good friend, Peoria Daddio.

Gadfly is so desperate to find a friend that he posts under multiple names.  It's a desperate cry for help from a small and pathetic man.

I'm not going to say it - you say it....Let's get Mikey, he says anything......

One More Thing



I have closely examined all of the Peoria Unified School District’s financial reports over the last few months, paying particular attention to the checks that have been issued, and to whom. Turns out that not a single check has been issued to Nobel, the company that successfully sued the school district over a rental agreement. Not a single one. So, where is the money coming from to pay for this settlement? Could it be from the liability insurance carrier the district pays just in case they get sued and lose?

Hmmmmmmmm . . .

Hey Mikey!!!

Mikey just isn't going to quit stumbling over himself on this Nobel thing, is he? You see he hasn't found any payments yet because the first one is not due until July 18, 2009. Do you think it was structured this way because the fiscal year end is June 30.....Hmmmmmm.... Look it up....HMMMMMMM.

Mr. Cantelme outlined the specifics of the settlement proposal, which include four payments, the first for $500,000 due on or before July 18, 2009.  The final three payments of $250,000 each would be payable on July 18 each year with the final payment on July 18, 2012.

So that leaves Mikey with one of two explanations: he was either lying, or he didn’t know. Either way, Mikey stuck his foot in his mouth . . . again.

Peoria Dad reverting to the vaunted Blah Blah defense. All of the great debaters have used this defense at one time or another in their careers. It's kind of like the chess defense move the Benko Gambit - like the Benko Gambit, it's extremely difficult to respond to the Blah Blah defense unless one knows exactly what they're doing and Peoria Dad is truly a master.

And, to answer another of your inane questions: yes, PUSD is self-insured, but like all self-insured agencies carries and pays for liablity insurance from an independent provider.  The very reason for carrying this insurance is, in fact, to pay off law suits.

This information comes straight from the district administrator in charge of insurance.

I suggest in the future you pick up a phone and gather a little information before making a fool of yourself again.

I'd comment on your credibility, but you can't comment on something that doesn't exist.

Once again, you prove you utter lack of knowledge when it comes to school finance. Staffing (teachers) is determined by enrollment, and books and computers come from completely different funds. Not a single teacher, book or computer will be sacrificed.

If you want people to listen to you, the least you could do is know what you're talking about.  You don't.

And, to answer another of your inane questions: yes, PUSD is self-insured, but like all self-insured agencies carries and pays for liablity insurance from an independent provider.  The very reason for carrying this insurance is, in fact, to pay off law suits.

This information comes straight from the district administrator in charge of insurance.

I suggest in the future you pick up a phone and gather a little information before making a fool of yourself again.

I'd comment on your credibility, but you can't comment on something that doesn't exist.

Who Are They Trying to Kid?

I’ll say this for Kathy Knecht, Rick Murphy and Diane Douglas: they all think we’re stupid.

During a discussion at the Aug. 12 school board meeting, all three took shots at the former school board for its unanimous approval of a rental contract to ease overcrowding at Sunrise Mountain High School. We’ve come to expect that of Murphy, of course, because that’s the sole reason he ran for the school board. Douglas, naturally, forgot to remind everyone that she was one of five board members who voted to cancel the contract in the first place.

The worst of them, though, was Knecht, who indignantly waxed: “It is indeed a sickening compromise that we have to make, because of the dollars that come out of our classrooms, (which benefit) our kids. The only thing I can think of that would be worse than that would be having to take even more from them.”

Who does she think she’s kidding? Not a penny of that settlement will come at the come from the classroom or any other part of the school district’s maintenance and operations budget. I will come from the district’s insurance carrier.

So that leaves Knecht with one of two explanations: she was either lying, or she didn’t know. Either way, Knecht stuck her foot in her mouth . . . again.

It's so nice you want to finally meet me, Dad. I'm touched.

Now sir, I have challenged your intelligence, integrity and your honor.  How will you respond? 

I felt like I was talking to Jack Nicholsen in A Few Good Men.

Ignoring all of my warnings to the contrary, my neighbor often checks, and participates in, the Peoria Independent forums.

Don’t look for me to post a link, because I won’t. It is absolutely clear that the . . . errr . . . “conversations” on these forums bring out the worst in people, and all you need to do to prove that is look at a conversation currently taking place about the now defunct recall campaign.

Still, people occasionally cast pearls before swine,


 

And I can't resist, Michael, did I cast a pearl this time?

Once again, you prove you utter lack of knowledge when it comes to school finance. Staffing (teachers) is determined by enrollment, and books and computers come from completely different funds. Not a single teacher, book or computer will be sacrificed.

If you want people to listen to you, the least you could do is know what you're talking about.  You don't.

No, you twit. I find the discussion (and I use that term quite loosely.) hilarious. The payout I find absolutely disgusting.

And complete speculation??? I would say Mr. McCord sounds pretty d**n sure of this.....and so am I

Joe McCord wrote

Because I, too, was curious I checked into it. The cost is NOT covered by the PUSD insurance plan since it involved the cancellation of a contract and that is specifically excluded under the insurance terms. The money will have to come from the M & O budget and that's a real shame.

I will make certain that something like that never happens when I am on the board.

Just because you say things three thousand times does not make them true.  Once again you have presented an argument that is a mile wide, and a half-inch deep.  Show us some proof.

And again, don't think that your inability to come up with a single instance in which Erickson was inaccurate has gone unnoticed.  It's pretty much why you're talking to yourself under three or four different names. You can keep dancing all you want, but until you can provide conclusive proof of any inaccuracy, you're simply titlting at windmills.

Thanks for further proof that what Erickson says about you is dead on.

I really do pity you for your obsession.

In 2003, a sublease was entered into with PUSD as the subleasee and Nobel Learning Communities, Inc. as the sublandlord. PUSD cancelled the sublease in 2005. A lawsuit was filed by Nobel Learning Communities, Inc., the dispute over when and under what circumstances the sublease could be cancelled. A mediation hearing was held on June 19, 2008 to settle the lawsuit filed by Nobel Learning Communities, Inc. against the Peoria Unified School District. Mr. David Cantelme of Cantelme & Brown, PC stated that this agenda item is to review the results achieved in the mediation hearing and to give the Board opportunity to decide whether it is in the best interest of the District to accept or reject the findings. Mr. Cantelme clarified that his firm did not represent the District in the mediation hearing, but was engaged to advise the District. Mr. Cantelme advised that if the case went to trial, the outcome would be decided by a jury. Should PUSD lose the verdict, the settlement costs would likely be as follows:




$2,322,534 principal amount plus interest at a rate of 10% per year from the date the lease was cancelled


$383,000 in real estate taxes that, under the lease, were the obligation of the District


$123,000 in commission


$143,000 in late fees


$1,670,000 in rent





The Board was advised that the District might also be responsible for attorney fees. The total loss to the District could reach $2,700,000. If PUSD were to win the verdict, the amount the District would owe would be $0. The amount of the settlement proposal that resulted from the mediation hearing was $1,250,000, roughly half the amount of a jury trial loss.





Mr. Cantelme and his partner Mr. Aaron Brown reviewed the settlement proposal and recommended Board acceptance in the best interest of the District. This recommendation was made by Mr. Cantelme and Mr. Brown due to the ambiguity of the language of the sublease and the uncertainty of the outcome of a jury trial.





Mr. Cantelme outlined the specifics of the settlement proposal, which include four payments, the first for $500,000 due on or before July 18, 2009. The final three payments of $250,000 each would be payable on July 18 each year with the final payment on July 18, 2012.





Mr. Murphy moved to accept the results of the mediation hearing and proposed settlement agreement as outlined by counsel. The motion was seconded by Ms. Raeder. There was further discussion in which Board members expressed dismay at the need to accept a compromise that could redirect district funds from educational programming, but acknowledged the risks associated with a jury trial. Board members voted on the motion, which carried unanimously.

No. I want you to PROVE it.

You can keep dancing all you want, but until you can provide conclusive proof of any inaccuracy, you're simply titlting at windmills.

By the way, with each and every post you prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that what Erickson says about you is dead on.

I would like to see the PROOF not some one telling me they checked into it.  I don't know Mr. McCord but I am sure he would not lie.  However, I still want to see the proof for myself.

Hey I kind of like to play this game. Unhappy, I think you really might know all of this. Mind if I call you Deep Throat? I know who Apache Mom is, but you know who Erickson and Frank are??? Can we meet in the underground garage some morning? If you want to meet me, move your flower pot to the other side of your porch and we'll meet -  please be smoking the cigarette and end every sentence with 'follow the money'.

Here's a question you won't answer, but I'll give it a try anyway. Just say Mr. McCord is right, this whole thing comes out of M & O....big deal, no? Kind of makes the $30,000 you all are crying about look like my penny collection????
