A local TV station requested an interview with Rocky to talk about his recent salary increase and explain some facts that the reporter has noticed concerning how Rocky’s pay stacks up against other superintendent’s in the state.^TPIA

That’s right, Rocky, seems unable to answer to the public and media about his outrageous contract. The usual cowardice on his part.

Rocky really does have a hard time when it comes to the truth and explaining himself to the citizens and tax payers of this district.

Rocky makes me think of Bill Clinton when Bill said: “It depends on what the meaning of the word ‘is’ is. If the–if he–if ‘is’ means is and never has been, that is not–that is one thing. If it means there is none, that was a completely true statement….“

Surely Rocky would want to take the opportunity to explain how his salary is commensurate with his management skills? Oops, Rocky really can’t do that, but, but …

Or how he has made the district “the most exemplary school district in the state of Texas,” or … or …

Perhaps it’s best for Rocky to cower in the corner and send Jim Cummings out to talk … Oh no, even Jim is too frightened to talk to the media about the Board’s foolish financial decisions.

The timing of the request was particularly bad considering the district’s precarious financial position.

Perhaps it was the fact that Rocky and Jim are such close friends:

“He has grown close to several trustees, but has particularly developed a friendship with Kirk, one he thinks will last a lifetime.”

Surely since  Rocky and Jim are such good friends there would be no questions about hiring Jim’s youngest daughter, Sarah Cummings, as a teacher in the district?

I guess Jim hit the eject button and left the rest to  endure the fiery heat of reentry.
