I obtained the final campaign finance report for the “Two Penny PAC.”

The “Two Penny PAC” was formed by citizens who don’t believe that they already pay enough taxes and not only do they want to pay more taxes, but want you to pay more taxes as well.

“Salgo teamed up with six other parents over the last few months who called themselves the ‘Two Penny PAC.’”

The supporters of the “Two Penny PAC” want the rest of the district’s tax payers to continually dole out more money to the district’s outrageously overpaid Superintendent Rocky Kirk, squandering even more money than the $252,799/year he is given to manage an “Academically Acceptable” school district of only about 6,500 students. Let’s not forget to mention the $10,000 pay raise dolled out to the district’s General Counsel, Susan Bohn, who while being paid $140,000/year doesn’t seem to do anything other than farm out the district’s legal matters to outside law firms at tax payer expense.

Stay tuned for an upcoming post comparing tax rates, Superintendent salaries and dollars spent per pupil in LTISD and other district’s in Texas.

Fortunately the tax payers were outraged by the district’s request for even more money. Why can’t the school district tighten it’s belt in these economic times just like everyone else?

Makes you wonder why Robert Salgo wants to flush more of his and our money down drain at the LTISD. What’s his agenda?

“‘Right now people are just not willing to endure the tax increase,’ said Salgo.”
