Quote:Immoving3 says:A-h-h, the loophole. Waukegan is in big trouble folks, due to the incompetence of our elected school board, past and present, the questionable people THEY hire to work for our school district, and let's not forget the Waukegan-loving self-interest voter, comprising 11% of the usual 20% voter turnout for each election. The quote above screams incompetence and perhaps, even malfeasance. Makes me wonder how many more 'quality' employees are on our District payroll. The only winners in this whole fiasco are the lawyers-- School District, criminal defense, and prosecutorial, owing to the fact they all got paid. The FACT that Al Rogers allowed employees to submit inaccurate time sheets on a verbal o.k. doesn't remove the bad smell from this whole affair. Why not just turn in an accurate statement of hours worked? Unless you have something to hide.
During the bench trials, many witnesses -- including the security guards' former supervisor, Al Rogers -- testified that the time sheets turned in by staff only represent hours they are scheduled to work, and not necessarily their actual hours.
