Snow 0-2 in Vendettas against Former Administrators


Bongo would guess that Larry Snow is frustrated today.

After all, he just learned that no criminal charges for official misconduct will be filed against former District 158 Superintendent Dr. Steve Swanson. You can read the article here.

For those who are keeping score, Snow is now 0-for-2 with his attempts to get criminal charges filed against former administrators who are on "Larry's list." Bur for Larry, is it enough just to know that professional reputations have been tarnished?

Forensic Audit (including the conduct of CFO Paul Halverson at the time): properly investigated by credible authorities: Result: NO CRIMINAL ACTIVITY FOUND

Swanson Investigation (regarding vacation days for administrators): properly investigated by credible authorities: Result: NO CRIMINAL ACTIVITY FOUND

So let's see here... According to the reports, we have district officials who did not follow policy, but did not break the law. Who does THAT sound like? Me thinks the pot (aka Larry Snow) is calling the kettle black (Mr. I don't have to follow the policy regarding conduct of a school board member)!

Are the words irony and hypocrisy coming to anyone's mind other than Bongo's?

Larry, can we finally put the past where it belongs? Everyone has moved on and its time you and Aileen did too.

Many probably agree with your observation. What specific policies were not followed as you mentioned? Cannot remember news articles that ever cited specifics. Or did this get labeled by ls so that people just would believe that policies were not followed? maybe more bones need to be dug up? ls keeps chewing on the same old bone
