Those who balk at having to pay extra taxes to fund schools want accountability.
Now comes a plea deal from former accounting director of Oregon Dept of Education, Brent Crosson of Salem who admitted $tealing almost a million dollar$ of federal fund$.
If we can't even trust the Director of Accounting to be accountable, let us not wonder why the public has become so skeptical [of any new taxes].
Many of us believe, nay, we know the funds are there but too often are mishandled, mismanaged or outright-$iphoned.
I understand that one bad apple does not a whole department make, but this is not an isolated incident. Far from it, we are hearing of more embezzlements in the news all the time.
