| 00:00 - 00:03 | We have kept teachers absurdly low |
| 00:04 - 00:05 | in Jefferson, Alma and Hartsel |
| 00:05 - 00:07 | and of course here in Fairplay. |
| 00:08 - 00:12 | They will not be able to afford housing |
| 00:12 - 00:15 | anywhere in the district. |
| 00:17 - 00:19 | This is a good start. |
| 00:19 - 00:21 | They won't be able to pay their bills. |
| 00:24 - 00:26 | Ms. President... |
| 00:27 - 00:28 | Transparency |
| 00:31 - 00:33 | Transparency. The public wants financial |
| 00:34 - 00:36 | transparency. |
| 00:53 - 00:58 | Board members who don't have the stomach for this should leave now. |
| 01:13 - 01:15 | This is outrageous! How dare citizens |
| 01:15 - 01:17 | ask how their tax dollars are being spent! |
| 01:18 - 01:23 | If the tax payers find out that we've been hoarding their money |
| 01:25 - 01:28 | they will be furious. Or that we have spent over |
| 01:29 - 01:31 | $50,000 on that lousy lawyer. |
| 01:31 - 01:34 | We have over 70% of our money in reserves |
| 01:34 - 01:37 | and those teachers think they can negotiate salaries? |
| 01:37 - 01:40 | Well that will never happen. Never! |
| 01:40 - 01:42 | The teachers want a fact finder. |
| 01:42 - 01:46 | A fact finder? Are you crazy? |
| 01:46 - 01:48 | The fact finder be neutral. |
| 01:48 - 01:52 | Neutral? You idiot! |
| 01:53 - 01:54 | A fact finder would find facts! |
| 01:56 - 01:57 | Facts are not our friends. |
| 01:57 - 02:00 | Facts will show that we have lots of money |
| 02:00 - 02:03 | and we can't let the public know this. |
| 02:04 - 02:08 | The public doesn't need to know. |
| 02:08 - 02:13 | If we pay the teachers what they deserve... |
| 02:14 - 02:16 | then we would have to pay bus drivers |
| 02:17 - 02:21 | and custodians and paras |
| 02:27 - 02:29 | And we will not! |
| 02:30 - 02:34 | And where do these teachers think they are? |
| 02:34 - 02:36 | Boulder? Westminster? |
| 02:41 - 02:42 | No we are in Fairplay! |
| 02:43 - 02:47 | Where we always pay the most miserable salaries. Always! |
| 02:48 - 02:53 | As long as I am here, we will never pay good. |
| 02:54 - 02:56 | When I was a teacher I was paid poorly |
| 02:56 - 02:59 | and so much every teacher that works here! |
| 03:00 - 03:02 | That's the way it's always been and always will. |
| 03:04 - 03:07 | It's ok other school districts will still hire you. |
| 03:14 - 03:16 | Maybe I should just resign |
| 03:19 - 03:23 | Now that the community is behind them. |
| 03:25 - 03:26 | There is no way we can win. |
| 03:31 - 03:33 | Everyone knows the teachers are right. |
| 03:40 - 03:46 | But if I resign the teachers will still hate me. |
| 03:46 - 03:49 | And that's what I want...to go down in history |
| 03:53 - 03:56 | as the worst board president ever. |
