Spend money on education, COD

Posted March 25, 2012 5:00 am

The March 19 article about the childish squabble between the board of trustees at the College of DuPage and the village of Glen Ellyn was just appalling. Have they really spent $500,000 of my tax dollars on legal fees?

I think the board of trustees of the College of DuPage needs to grow up and do the job we elected them to do. It took months of lawyer’s fees and a judge’s order to get them to work out their differences with the village. Even a DuPage County Board member is quoted as saying he would “see how much taxpayer money was wasted on this.”

And now they can’t seem to work out a deal with their own teachers. Worst of all, they have used my tax dollars to post the details of this little spat on the college’s Web page. I want my education taxes spent on education, not on legal fees and silly Web pages.
