In drag at MCC... I don't know about that

This morning's headline on Page 1 of the Northwest Herald: "MMC extends Smith's contract".

News item on Page B-1, "Drag queens to perform at MCC".

Where is our local, tax-supported, community college going, folks?

Trustees on the "old" Board, the Board which decided the "new" trustees (Chris Jenner, Molly Walsh, Tom Wilbeck) couldn't be trusted with quickly understanding the performance evaluations of Pres. Vicky Smith and making the correct decision on the extension of her contract, voted 6-2 last night to extend the president's contract to 2015. Here's how they voted.

Dennis Adams - No
Cynthia Kisser - Yes
Carol Larson - Yes
Linda Liddell - Yes
Mary Miller - Yes
Ron Parrish- No
Barbara Walters - Yes
Paola Rueda - Yes

Let's see, the vote was 6-2. What do you notice about the "six"?

Departing Trustee Adams said, "I don't think any harm would come if we waited until June. The appearance of impropriety will have long-lasting effects."

He is absolutely right!
