SandBox Comments: Eagle County Times "Out of Touch and in need of a Reality Check"

'Dick Tracy' reports.  Over on the Eagle County Times.  In 'his' never-ending quest to make sure no spin is ever allowed to snowball the folks...we once again watch the Eagle County School Board admin's 'Tall Tales' debunked....

Awareness for our Eagle County School District Board and School District employees.

Or is it going to be  a case of “You get behind me, we all profit; you challenge me, we all go down‘ – by  Big Boy Caprice?

..reminds me of Myers PayBackPal cartoon the day he launched his "VirgZilla" (TM) creation and campaign.

Remember the clown cartoon meeting the Pres and CEO of the local chamber? "...see here, clown. That's a tough question and I don't like tough questions, see?.."
