I became involved because I reside in Washington County, I went to school my entire life in these schools. The things that are happening now have happened for as long as I can remember. It’s the “good ole boy” system. They protect each other and let each other get away with whatever they want, and it needs to stop.

Many such cases, tale as old as time, etc.

Them "good ole boy" s have infested the government at every level. May not be rid of them til they age out.

I've been hoping for that for a long time, but for every one that has the grace to age out and die, at least one more ages in.

This is the problem. I'm in my mid-40s and I have seen new "good ol' boys" move into the system as their predecessors die or retire.

The system is self-perpetuating.
