So once again the taxpayers are on the hook for a public servant's behavior.

Instead of holding the whole system accountable, how about focusing on the scumbags that actually do this crap?

Looks like the district knew he was scum when they hired him. Individuals that knew or should have known should be accountable. Sucks the taxpayers are on the hook.

Got to go after the deep pockets though.

Yeah ... Like that will ever happen.

Be it a cop, a coach, or a congressman, the taxpayers are always on the hook for their bad behavior, and that’s never going to change.

I thought ad-valorum tax increases had to be voted on?

Guess not.

Cameron Spradling is making bank. He'll likely get 50% of these settlements.

I'm sure that's not true, he's doing it for the kids.

I think the best option was the last talked about in the article. Sell off the assets and close it down.

Nope, they go up at the whim of the county. Supposedly on home valuations compared to others in the same community/region.
Last year I took out the inground pool, deck, hot tub and base, as well as two patio's. My taxes still went up.
