The land in question in this ABC7 news piece is PUBLIC SCHOOL LAND. It is not land up for grabs for hand off by politicians.
This is not the first time that our county elected politicians have tried to move dedicated PUBLIC SCHOOL LAND to private entities for pennies.
This is just another in a long line of attempts to hand off dedicated public school land to private interests for free or for a bargain basement price. The County Executive's spokesperson failed to mention that in his comments to ABC7. He also failed to mention public school children at all! Dedicated public school land is for public school children for their educational needs.
Public School Land is not for county politicians to play with, no matter where it is located in the county.
If MSI is a 501(c)(3), it may have blown its tax exemption for having engaged in substantial lobbying activities when it authorized the expenditure of $350K in lobbying expenses. Perhaps the Parents Coalition and other interested parties can look into this and make an issue of it.
