It's better than our opinion having to look for a We just have to pick up parking spot. Money scanal reflects on entire state one more person, and Okay, but I'm not It's sad when people steal money. It's even sadder, and perhaps more then we can go to class. Did you just touch riding in the trunk ' insulting to people, when the alleged thief is a politician. my butt? If you've seen the head story on page 3 A, then you have read about this time. former Georgia State School Superintendent Linda Schrenko and her indictment by a grand jury in stealing more than $600,000 in state \ education funds. If a jury proves Schrenko to be guilty of these charges, it will without a doubt be unfortunate. According to reports, the money that Schrenko allegedly took came from the Governor's Honor's Program and the Georgia School for the Deaf. Stealing money is stealing money, but for someone to take funds from a school for deaf children and highly achieving students, that's saying a lot about where one's heart may be. If Schrenko is found guilty, this case will prove not only that greed corrupts, but that the actions of leaders can malign our process of government. This misappropriation of money will surely impact our taxes and the level of services our government can provide, and will encourage and further engrain the negative perception of politicians and government. It is a bit scary that Schrenko was once head of education for the state and a candidate for governor, but is now an accused embezzler. These sort of situations come into play often for us when we hear students write off their right to vote because they feel all politicians are »rVie. • corrupt or are out to make their own financial gain from their servicfe.
