It is often said that if one has to ask if a love is true then it is not. The same should go for those involved on the board of the Education Foundation who expect the taxpayers to ask for their money back after the Foundation wrongly got their hands on it. Over $80,000 dollars of tourist tax money has been misdirected from the Tourist Development Council and into the operating budget of the of the Education Foundation. This means that more than half of the $80,000 would go to the Foundation staff paychecks and the rest would get divided up for the foundations other needs. We have been lead to believe that this money goes for scholarships or for items that teachers need for their class rooms, but this is not usually the case. The Foundations teach store which looks more like the rummaged through discount bin at Wal-Mart is not proof positive that the needs of our community are being met. From spending staff time on finding ways to run an apartment complex to the outrageous pay received by those at the top of the Foundation's food chain, money management for our children is not the Foundation's best attribute.
Other sites have listed the players who are on the board. The Osceola News-Gazette has listed the names of elected officials and elected official hopefuls who are at the center of this controversy. The WayneWho staff does not feel we need to continue to point the finger of doubt an anyone. We would just like to make the formal request from the residents of Osceola County that we get our money back.

You watch. The commissioners will just let them keep the money! Ask Fred Hawkins about it. He is deep in this group and he knows they need the money to keep their people employed.
There should be an investigation! There is huge sums of money coming from our taxes. Either from county commissioner action or the school board. Ken Smith strong arms every developer for $25,000 or he will not vote to approve any project. They only give out pennies on the dollar of what they collect. A little digging will reveal the truth.
Maybe if Mercedes Leon is elected, there will be more investigations on the dirt in Osceola County Govt.
Once again code enforcement is ignoring the rules for a favored candidate. Mrs. Click-Durbin has 4x 8 signs in the city limits. One of them at Osceola Pkwy and Drury, maybe Wayne and Mr. Durbin can take a car ride together :-)
