VUSD contract lawyer not expensive enough, Gibson wants to spend more

VUSD like all school districts in the State of California has a contract with a legal representative called the County Counsel. This contract is not free. It cost the district money. Gibson wants the district to go outside to hire someone else? What is it about taxpayer money and Jim Gibson? Does Jim think taxpayer money is his to waste?

When the district has a paid legal adviser, you use the paid adviser.

Haven't you wasted enough taxpayer money already Jim? Considering the waste of 40 million dollar you cost the district for the building of the third high school, aren't you embarrassed to asking for more to be wasted?

By the way the contract with the VTA president has already passed legal muster with previous legal counsels. These kinds of contracts are legal throughout California and have been for decades. So why bring it up? Oh yeah next year is election year for Jimmy.

Also note that if the VUSD board is forced to ask our cheaper, already contracted, legal counsel to re-plow the same ground, there will be a small additional fee for that as well. County Counsel time is not free, but at least it is not as outrageously expensive as Jim Gibson "full employment for outside lawyers demand" would be.
