Some People 2

You may remember the story I did back at the first of March about the Tellico Village couple, Jim and Deb Stephenson, Some People. They were the couple who sent a "tip" to the TBI that claimed how bad the county school board and county commission had been and wanted the TBI to investigate. Ultimately, the TBI referred their complaint to the district attorney who basically told them neither elected body had done anything wrong.

Well the cost of their little hissy fit is in. It cost the tax payers about $4,261.00 in legal fees to answer and address their complaint. So turns out, the folks who complain the most that local government spends too much money, forced the school board to have to waste another four grand just to answer their complaint. That cost doesn't include the thousands of documents and local man hours to provide all the requested documents. Wonder how many student meals could have been paid for by that wasted money. Thanks Jim and Deb.

This is the world we live in now.
