Understand Cambridge Services are double dippers and have been involved in government one way or another. Listed below are a few of the alleged deficiencies and frankly the comedy is better than a late night TV show. <strong>The District\u2019s &#038; communities \u201cfundamental values\u201d, \u201cethical code\u201d, \u201coverriding convictions\u201d, \u201cinviolate commitments\u201d, \u201cdistrict\u2019s identity\u201d, \u201cpurpose and the means of action\u201d, \u201cstrategic parameters\u201d, and so on. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Do any of you believe for one moment this silliness was incubated in the minds of Mehl &#038; associates?  Of course not.  Straight out of the U.S. Dept. of Ed, the NEA, the AEA, Metro 1313, etc. <\/p>\n<p>This concoction was created with moonbeams &#038; wool, dedicated to further destroy citizen influence in public education.<\/p>\n<p>Recall yesterday Police Chief Nathaniel Clark opined that he was molding the FS city police into a light infantry brigade. Yes, it is unconstitutional. A paramilitary falls under the command of the military ultimately. <\/p>\n<p>Both of the above are not functions of a Constitutional government and continues to increase the size and expense of the corrupt government. <\/p>\n<p>Incumbency &#038; lack of transparency are toxic weeds.  Parents don\u2019t be flimflammed by charlatans. None of the above has anything to do with proper education or citizen protection, but certainly helps to empty our pocketbooks.<\/p>\n<p>Joe McCutchen<br \/>\narkansasfreedom.net    <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just what do we get for $36,410.00\u2026a lot of PC and more government control?
