The following quote from Superintendent Jerry Weast is from the December 17, 2010, Kojo Nnamdi show transcript. 


This quote shows the Superintendent of our public school system advocating for the public to NOT understand how he is spending a $2.1 billion budget.

...And, you know, I'm getting people to quit thinking about all these little smoke and mirrors about how you spend it. I think that's important.

For citizens who would actually like to know a little bit about how the Superintendent of Montgomery County Public Schools is spending their tax dollars, here is a peek at payments of over $25,000 made to vendors in FY 10 by MCPS. 
Don't miss the $5.2 million credit card bill. 
Wonder what is being charged and who is getting all those American Express points?
Don't ask. The Superintendent wants you to quit thinking about how your tax dollars are spent.
