NW and Daily Heralds Bid Farewell to Snow by Publishing Stories about his Guilty Plea in Uninsured Driving Case


For some odd reason that old In Sync Song "Bye Bye Bye" that Bongo's pups used to blare from their CD players is stuck in his mind today.

Oh yeah, tonight is the night when District 158 officially says bye bye bye to Larry Snow.

Any parting words of wisdom (?) that Snow had planned to share with the community on his way out the door will now be heavily overshadowed by the article that ran, complete with Snow photo, on the front page of the local section of the Northwest Herald today.

Here's a link to it.

The Daily Herald also published a story about it today. Here is a link to that one.

Snow must be pleased. After all, we all know how much he enjoys seeing his name and photo in the paper. But somehow, Bongo guesses this isn't exactly how he would like to be remembered on the day that he will step down from the board of education.

It appears that the Northwest Herald and the Daily Herald, which were both completely uninterested in covering Snow's uninsured driving incident during the election, have finally realized that when an elected official gets caught breaking the law, its news.

With any luck, this will be the last time Bongo has to open his newspaper and see Snow's mug staring back at him.
