At a recent meeting of the Scranton school board, it was revealed that it will cost more than $ 300 million to fix all of the city's schools. The number came from a feasibility study.
There are many questions here. How were things allowed to slide for so long? Clearly, some schools have to be closed, but which ones? Does the board have the guts to do it? If not, where does the money come from? This is a district already suffering from money problems.
Fasten your seat belts. It's going to be a long and bumpy ride. And, no one is going to be happy with the destination.
More money and numbers...
Guy Fieri just signed a new, three year contract with the Food Network. $ 80 million. My first reaction is "Are you kidding me?" Fieri's food is average, at best. Every edition of "Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives" looks exactly the same. He has a couple of other shows on the network that border on unwatchable.
But, consider this. Published reports say Fieri is responsible for more than $ 200 million of the Food Network's income. Therefore, his new contract is a bargain for the network. He deserves every penny-- and more.
I'm happy for him. Guy, enjoy the bonanza!
