The Schrammie: Living high off the taxpayers hog
I would have thought that a college president was pretty smart.
I'm now forced to re-think that notion.
And so it is that I'd like to invite the head muckety-muck of the Evergreen State College, Dr. Les Purce, to put away the pomp and circumstance and come on down.
Dr. Les is wallowing in the wealth of taxpayer generosity.
Having been given a sumptuous residence as part of his presidential Evergreen package, he instead chose to live in a different house and insist on an additional $60,000 a year to pay for it.
Meanwhile, the house the college expected Dr. Les to live in sits empty.
What with repairs, utilities, maintenance and upkeep on the one house along with allowances for the new one, cost to us taxpayers is over $300,000 so far.
And now Dr. les says he wants a maid to take out his trash, wash his dishes and keep things tidy for him.
Oh, Dr. Less.
For being so cavalier with our money; for living high off the taxpayers hog even as you advocate for raising college tuition high and higher, I'd ask that you take this moment to take a bow, because this "Schrammie" is for you.
