“We were really just looking at lines on a map,” said board trustee Anthony Quinn. “As far as we were concerned, this was the best site — it had the best drainage, the best access to roads. When we discussed this process around the table, I don’t think any of us understood that this was a family farm.”
What a bunch of yahoos! If the above statement is true, then the elected board trustee (Anthony Quinn) as well as all other board members should be ashamed of themselves and immediately quit their jobs. Although I suspect they are using this ridiculous and improbable excuse simply to save face. Is this guy running again as the Catholic board trustee in the next election? If so, I only hope that voters will remember this whole fiasco.
Also, do they really think that people are so stupid to believe that no-one on the board had any idea that this was a family farm? This is a 200 acre working farm with grazing cows out in the fields every day. I'm sure everyone who lives in Milton has driven by and seen them, unless they're either blind or completely oblivious to their surroundings. Quinn's nonsensical statement only adds insult to injury and deserves to be turfed from his job.
The stuff they've been in the news for this past year tells me you're spot on with them being a bunch of yahoos. It sounds like a very dysfunctional school board.
