Here's a song for Huff and Flowers, best buds:

Remember that guy who talked down to the teachers with a "this is your boss" speech? Who kept the board on lockdown?

They voted him out. Learn ye well the price of being such a jerk.

Looks like your buddy Koch went down in flames. Probably the creepy videos you posted of him. Better luck next time.

The people have spoken. Mr. Huff it's time you see if Rohr can find you a job in League City.

Dear Huff, Flowers, McGrew, and Landis (and AB, from behind the scenes):

"You have been weighed, you have been measured, and you have been found wanting." (Mandy Patinkin)

Your days of terrorizing the village are numbered. Think how different this situation might be if you had played fair, kept business ethical, and treated your staff respectfully. You are earning your just rewards. Accept them gracefully and as your due.

There's a new sheriff in town, boys, so saddle your horses and head out of town.

What a slap in the face, CJ. Some would call this karma.

How is this a slap in the face to CJ? 2 of "his" candidates, in your words, won. From an outsider looking in, I don't believe anyone "spoke" in the school board race. If they had, a majority of Turner endorsed candidates would have won. They didn't. What does that say?

So...now that Jeff Flowers is out, who becomes the president of the board? How is that decided?

The board will vote on that at the next meeting.
