To the editor:
Regarding the financial woes of the Lindbergh School District, I would like to suggest that one of the first places the committee look for cutting expenses — and before asking for a tax increase — would be Superintendent Jim Simpson’s salary. I don’t recall the exact amount and all of the “extras,” but it was very large.
By the way, just what does he do to earn his keep?
