When I found out at 3 p.m. when I came in that the Washington School Board was having a meeting, my jaw dropped and then I got mad. I knew they had just broken the law by not informing us. I had to go to another room and cool off. That didn’t work. I got a hug. That didn’t work. I went outside, smoked and then kicked a cinder block. That didn’t work and I hurt my foot.

I wanted to go to that meeting real bad, but Pat and Mel thought better to send me to North Daviess. That is good, because if I went to Washington, I would have not been at North Daviess later, I would have been in jail. I know I am not supposed to get like that, being a fair-minded journalist but I am human.

After Sally came back and told me what happened. What Gary Williams said and how he said it to her, I had to drive by the central office. It took every ounce of strength in me not to get out of the car and confront Williams myself.

Here’s what I want to know. Would Willams had done that if I, a man, would have been there? I don’t think so.Sally has been in difficult situations before, but she should get an apology.

You know what? I’m still mad.
