This is a bad deal for Springfield and McLaughlin is smart enough to figure that out. He is also most likely right that consolidation will not actually save money for the schools into which they are consolidated -- John Daltonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6627533061631749534.post-42325518611965496902015-11-09T16:22:52.060-05:002015-11-09T16:22:52.060-05:00I'm sorry, 10:24, but when you pay top money i...I'm sorry, 10:24, but when you pay top money in your field, you get the smartest flocking to you.
