And the worm turns…
Earlier, I scribbled about former State Rep./Elba City Schools Superintendent, Terry Spicer, and his maneuvering to keep his state pension. According to the Dothan Eagle, Spicer has been fired by the Board on grounds he failed to advertise the position he moved himself into, thus pushing the date he collects his pension to age 60. (As an aside after 25 years of undetected vice, Alabama state employees and educators can collect pensions regardless of age). Whether this was response of an elected board to the will of the people or secret manipulation by anti-bingo ghost Republicans, is left to the reader.
Spicer’s next step will be no doubt an appeal where the Alabama Education Association will do its contractual duty to support a member and past friend of education.
