I will premise this by saying like most citizens I was initially bothered by Schools Director Millard House’s raise. Upon further review, research and speaking with my better half, I realized I was wrong!
I had no idea the history behind our director of schools’ salary. He has been underpaid for years. It is shameful. This is nothing more than political gaslighting by someone with big political aspirations. He is playing to his base.
