'We need to better understand the indispensable roles that government plays in our society, and we need to come to the defense of this unfairly maligned institution.'

here's a great idea of how government can completely screw up your lives. In Clayton County, Georgia, they elected a plethora of dumbasses that damn near killed the school system there...So, what does Government do about it? They hire another dumbass, overpay him, and wait for inevitable shoe to drop.

Thompson, who started work Monday, is tasked with meeting the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools' Sept. 1 deadline to overhaul the district or lose accreditation.

But that deadline is going to be awfully tight given Thompson's contract, said James E. Bostic Jr., a state board of education member appointed by the governor to help Clayton schools.

"When you look at the number of days he has the ability to be off and number of days he has to work, it certainly makes it difficult," Bostic said Tuesday. "I'm really wondering why we are paying this salary for him to be off and earn other income consulting with other school systems."

Clayton is paying Thompson $285,000 a year — or $1,187.50 a day.
