  1. Councilmember Ervin,

    You were on the Board of Education. You knew exactly what was going on when you came to the Council.
    This is not news for you.

  2. My first reaction is the same. She was on the BOE for years and didn't complain at all about the way the system was setup. Now that she's on the Council and likely looking for higher office this is a concern. Would be funny if it wasn't so hypocritical.
