Keep up the good work Gazette and Courier. Rob Roy and the rest of his bunch need to come clean. Resign now and save face. Quit wasting our tax dollars. I was taught to be the bigger person and admit when I was wrong. You have lost all respect of your peers.

....or could it be that pretty much everything has been revealed and that continued "investigation" only bloodies an already broken nose. I think we all have a pretty accurate picture of what went down. Was it kosher? Most certainly not! But to keep rubbing the noses of the Board members in their mistake will not make it go away. Vote some of them out when election time comes? That is up to the citizens of the district. John - if you really feel that strongly about this, is your name on that ballot? It is easy to blog - but I think it just may be "put up or shut up" time.

wislady: Blaming Obama for Benghazi makes about as much sense as blaming Paul Ryan for Romney's defeat. Then again...there may be something to that. After all, Eddie Munster couldn't even deliver his home town.

Should be right up your alley, wislady.

In addition to apologizing to the citizens, I think they need to make one to Garrow as well. Doesn't look to me like he's done anything wrong except not fit in with the powers that be.

Comparing Obama's Benghazi Gate to a school employee who might have acted inappropriate, is beyond ridiculous.

hooters Jan 6, 2013 at 10:45 p.m. "I suspect that Garrow did not "click" well with the "clique"."
I think you're on to something Hooters.

I suspect that Garrow did not "click" well with the "clique" and they (the board) went on a mission to find something to hang him on. The "clique" had influence over the board and pushed to get the ball rolling. The board reacted by going off half cocked and really screwed things up. How do you identify the "clique"??...well, I suspect anyone who says "let's let it go and move on....". Even before all this came out (as a result of the Gazette's digging)...I was puzzled by those who were three steps ahead of the story saying..."we need to figure out what to do for the rest of the year" and "we need to focus on finding a replacement". (all this from someone who loves a good conspiracy theory).

Appears the School Board was at fault here for creating an expensive mountain out of a mole hill.

Unless there is some other significant information forthcoming that would justify terminating this man after their own attorney advised them they had no grounds, the entire School Board should either; (1)just resign, (2) get recalled, or (3) pool their pennies to pay for the needless charges they cost the taxpayers.

wislady: WHY should we "move on" when there are still unanswered questions? This has all the markings of a cover-up. I was trying to give you two examples (one from each party) in which observers were trying to "move on" without all of the facts. If we all just "move on", then that should apply to the Benghazi situation as well. Your answer should certainly agree with that.

Badgerlvr

What are you talking about?... I gave no advise, I stated it was time to move on. Just because YOU don't know all the details, doesn't mean it has to be hashed over again.

He is leaving, and we need to move on. You, on the other hand, want to talk about Nixon, Clinton and Monica. You only have to look at Obama and the lies he has told, no need to go back too far. Does Benghazi ring a bell.

Well said, Crosswalk.
On another note, if everyone in Milton is supposedly lining up with pitchforks and torches to take on the school board over this, then why are there no candidates challenging the incumbents' re-election this spring? Hmmm...maybe this IS a non-issue.

Hmm...not sure why I was censored but I'll try again. I do find it a little ironic that the JG is ok with Mr. Eyster taking shots at the Milton SB and president but did not care for my criticism of Mr. Eyster.

Mr. Eyster. Your use rhetoric is unfair and way out of proportion to the events that have occurred. The Milton School Board has a very solid reputation for making good decisions and I'm guessing that this one was probably a good one as well- I am very certain that it was made with what they felt was in the best interest of the district and based on solid legal advice. The MSD is one of the best in the area and this is so because of an excellent school board and community that supports them. The board members and board president get paid next to nothing- they are essentially volunteering and certainly are not getting paid enough to take your poorly thought out, way over the top criticism. Rob Roy and this school board deserve much better that this. It is easy to sit in the cheap seats and be critical- but in this case I think you are being extremely unfair and way over the top.

Why would Rob Roy want to talk to you eyster? Everyone knows that you only hear and believe what you want to! Maybe if you weren't such a far left leaning hypocrite people might take what you have to say more seriously!

"Why does Milton Board President want Gazette to stop investigating?"
.
It sure sounds like the board is afraid more of the truth will get out. Is it time for a "ALL NEW BOARD" to be voted in? Time will tell.....

wislady: If Bob Woodward would have taken your advise, Tricky Dick Nixon would have never been uncovered for the corrupt politician he really was. Same with Clinton and Monica. The TRUTH never hurt anyone, unless of course they're guilty.

Time to move on.....other issues need to be addressed. Any of the commenters here running for school
board?

This is indeed a strange situation. A lot of the controversy stems from a picture which it appears the major decision makers in the process have not seen. The showing of a photo started the whole mess, yet the photo has not been seen by the public, or even described in any detail.
What exactly is Rob Roy and his supporters trying to hide? Inquiring minds want to know.

Sleeponit - I can't agree with you more!
.
As far as Roy's comment-
"I can tell you that no one I have talked with in the community since your last story has asked for more information. They have all commented that they are glad this is behind us and that the district can finally move forward. I wish you would do the same."
.
No one I've ever talked to is of that opinion. Must be just his cronies.

RE-DICK_Raff...in answer to your question...many taxpayers in the Milton school district care...and also ask a simple question...Why is the Milton school board afraid of transparency?

Mr. Roy and his inept leadership style have added to the situation by his lack of communicating with the staff and taxpayers in Milton. That he is running for re-election shows his vanity and self-importance. He will never say that he is sorry - just as the superintendent they investigated would never do. Because they didn't act on information they had sooner, they are primarily to blame for this financial debacle. Shame on Mr.Garrow and shame on the board.

Less than a year ago this paper reported that the Delavan School Board ended the employment of their Superintedent. It cost the taxpayers of that district $283,000 to do so. Where was the outrage from this paper?
The Milton School Board knew that it needed to move in a different direction. The students,teachers,administrators and taxpayers deserve it. Lets support this decision.

Maybe because the gazette takes the facts and then adds and subtracts a bunch of stuff so it get the most media attention...its not investigating it for truth, the gazette is investigating it to sell papers.

Just wondering if it is true that nobody on the Milton School Board ever saw the pix that the Supt. had shown to others. It would be nice to clear the air on that one - 1. Did you see the pix? 2. was it in bad taste / nudity? Milton school Board? The social thing that they were concerned with sounded pretty silly. Yes - it would be nice for ALL of the information on this.

Penn State.

The Milton School Board proves on thing fairly well, that it's easy to waste other people's money. That said, isn't it time we look at some other way to educate our children rather than to continue sending them to school systems that are easily corruptible both politically and financially?

As a Milton School District taxpayer, I want to know the whole truth. I've read every story in the Gazette and Milton Courier so far and I see no reason why Mr. Garrow should have been let go. In my opinion, the only thing that I take away from all the information so far is that Mr. Garrow displayed a lack of judgment/maturity. There has to be more to the story. Or maybe the school board screwed up big time and that's why Mr. Roy wants it all to just go away. I hope the Gazette continues it's search for the truth and sues the Milton School District for attorney fees. I know the money comes out of taxpayers' pockets, but we deserve the truth, not corruption.

Its nice to see a newspaper can decide which news it wants to investigate and which news it wants to gloss over and then pass itself off as objective.

I agree John, something is wrong here.
