Quote of the day: Has the Jefferson County teachers union boss 'entered the federal witness protection program?'

Quoteoftheday

"Has JCTA President Brent McKim entered the federal witness protection program? With some teachers forced to buy their own chalk, why hasn’t their union chief, to paraphrase Mr. Shakespeare, 'troubled deaf heaven with his bootless cries?' The silence from the Jefferson County legislative delegation is also deafening. Aren’t they just a tad disappointed that the millions of tax dollars for public school children they take great pains to include in the state’s biennial budgets are shanghaied by rapacious bureaucrats miles from any classroom?" --Former Rep. Bob Heleringer, R-Louisville, in his Courier-Journal column responding to state audit of Jefferson County Public Schools
