Isn’t it just like people who claim to know things but actually know nothing?
Time after time Score Keeper claims to know exactly what went on inside the district.
Claims to know about the “deals” with lobbyists and builders that went down.
Claims to know about Board member horse trading of votes and outright sunshine violations.
Not once has he ever named a name or pinned down a key event.
And to my latest challenge? Silence.
Here’s that challenge for those who didn’t read the comment replies under Tuesday’s Tidbits:
You’re the one that shills for the grand jury’s fraud.
You need to explain to all of us why the jury gave phony evidence about the ten year master plan.
You need to explain why the jury “forgot” to explain the facts of the class size amendment.
You need to explain to all of us why the jury lied about gift laws.
You need to explain to all of us why the jury lied about not addressing critical overcrowding on the west side.
Explain to us about the hundreds of millions in classrooms and schools built to address the overcrowding the jury says didn’t get built.
Show us proof that the photos of real buildings and real schools that I’ve posted so far aren’t real.
Show us proof that there are no reductions in school populations. Tell us that there are still elementary schools built for 600 with 1,200 still busting at the seams as the report suggests.
Instead, all he does is to drone on and on about how my “meddling” (my own words) with senior staff to make them do what they were supposed to do instead of years of incompetent inaction is “proof” of the grand jury’s criticism.
It isn’t.
According to state law, it was “exercising any power necessary,” which the grand jury also conveniently ignores.
Score Keeper ignores the grand jury’s own criticism of Board Members not grasping the “big picture.”
He loses once again.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; Only vermin hide in the dark.
Score Keeper hides in the dark throwing out accusations without a shred of proof because he’s full of shit. (That’s crap for those of you in Southwest Ranches.)
Even Michael Marchetti had the gonads to come forward.
These conversations are over until Score Keeper does two things:
Comes out of hiding and identifies who he really is; and answers my set of challenges above with something other than the same old bullshit.

Thus, therein lies the issue with blogging…folks who cowardly remain cloaked behind an anonymous avatar or user ID and post opinions based on nothing more than sheer speculation. I have far more respect for those who speak their minds freely with their real identity out there for the world to see; barring that, we end up with political shills who stir up controversy for a purpose that is often beyond the scope of the blog…I tend not to take these people seriously.

That’s the ironic thing. I get criticized for daring to have opinions and for having the audacity to post them when I use my real name, but those who hide behind a moniker can say anything they want. Scorekeeper will never admit he is wrong.
Several years ago, Scorekeeper insisted that I was posting comments under Sun-Sentinel articles as “Zorro.” even when Marty admitted publicly that he was “Zorro.” To this day, Scorekeeper still claims the early “Zorro” posts were posted by me, even though Marty and I have repeatedly corrected him.

I can make him look like an even bigger schmuck. At first he insisted that Zorro was Darla. So much for what he claims to know.

Although I understand the reason for keeping hidden the identities of those who testify before the Grand Jury, I would love to know who provided the majority of the testimony, because you know the Grand Jury just blindly listened to those witnesses, without doing any independent checking of their own.
Scorekeeper criticizes you and I for not doing anything about the things we knew about, but the fact is when we could, we did. I personally went to Garretson with a lot of the things I found out about Facilities staff and misconduct, but of course, that went nowhere. Then I complained to Till about Garretson, but since the people who brought Garretson in were the same people who supported Till and threatened board members against firing Till, of course Till did nothing about it. When Notter was made superintendent, he and I had several frank conversations about the wrongdoing in that department under Garretson, and Jim was honest with me when he said he did not have five votes to get rid of Garretson. Of course, he didn’t need any votes to do that, but he was concerned about his own position. Had Jim had the strength to do what he knew he should have done earlier (he finally had to act but by then it was too late), and had Till been more eager to do the right thing than keep his job, a lot of the unnecessary waste in construction could have been avoided.
Scorekeeper has us in a no-win position. If we tried to do anything, but failed, because one board member alone has no power to make changes, we are incompetent, but if we step in and “meddle” as you put it, we are overstepping our authority. I personally went to the media lots of times, and JP and Buddy did write some stories, but many other stories were killed by the editors, especially under Till’s reign. Since I never had any “proof” of wrongdoing, just lots of things that didn’t seem right, my “suspicions” alone were not sufficient to get anyone else to act.
It seems to me that Scorekeeper was in a better position than I was, or you were, to actually affect changes. With his position in the district, he could have caused more light to be shed on these issues. The audit committee frequently exposed things, and could have exposed many more. Where was he while all these things were occurring, which he admits he also knew about, and why didn’t he blow the whistle on these things as they were occurring?

We already know that the grand jury report was mostly fraud. We need to find out how to get charges filed to open an investigation. There may be many legal protections granted to jurors, but I have a hard time believing that there’s a protection against fraud. Opening an investigation would open the testimony to examination.
I contend that Score Keeper was not in a position to know a thing and he’s just a parrot for rumors and innuendo. He has a bully pulpit with Bob Norman and the Sun Sentinel blogs and that’s where he gets his kicks.
If he were truly in a place to know anything and kept silent, he’s as guilty as the people he points fingers at. I believe they call that accessory after the fact. That’s worth several years of hard time in Raiford if not in Federal prison alongside Bev.
Had he provided evidence with his “knowledge” whistleblower laws would keep him safe in the district until he could get a settlement from the district. He’d be a real hero, not a self important blowhard. And as we know, it’s almost impossible for the district to get rid of whistleblowers. And we both know the original settlement offered to Beckie Blackwood. That would make Score Keeper a real hero and a rich man.
But he’s neither, meaning he’s not as smart as he thinks he is.
