Serious accusations if true, but …

At a Lancaster Chamber of Commerce lunch today, Lancaster Superintendent Larry Lewis seemed to hint that some opponents of a proposed $215 million bond issue were hinting that might personally profit from the issue if it was approved Nov. 7.

I’ve never heard that.

Now, I have heard, second-had, questions about whether or not consultant Red Whiddon, who advised the district this summer on what he thought needed to be in this bond issue, might profit from some sort of contract if the bond were approved, but that’s all that I’ve heard.

File this under skeptical.

Either way, it’s kind of sad the bond campaign is getting more personal. If somebody is making that allegation, it’s sad that they’re dragging Lewis into the mud. If it’s not true, it’s sad that he’s personalizing the bond campaign so that it’s not“about the kids” any more.
