      Bit of a jump in those non-FTE salaries...

        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

              Crazy. Here if a school budget (the largest chunk of overall property taxes) rises more than, I think, 2%, there's a higher vote threshold it needs to pass.

              Cuomo (fils) actually put that in place. I remember thinking that he should have anchored it to an inflation index rather than a hard number, but here we are.

                So a few months back, a girl that pretends to be a boy went into a boys locker room. Three boys asked her to leave. So Loudoun County is of course investigating the three young men for Title IX sexual harassment charges.

                  Tonight is the school board meeting. The head of the board is shutting down commentators supporting the boys, preventing parents from coming in by claiming personal bags are too large (they’ve been measured and are within the rules), and not allowing parents into the building claiming it’s at capacity (there are three dozen empty chairs).

                          It is possible they were at capacity even if there are empty chairs. Depends on the rules for the room/building.

                            @89th said in What’s happening in Loudon County?:

                            Sure. And the refusal to allow entry to people because their handbags were too large? When they were perfectly legitimately in the sizes allowed?

                              No idea, it's probably why the county is abbreviated LOCO!
