Whats the problem? Just raise taxes....
Nearly half of that amount has been spent on Schrauth Forcucci’s misconduct hearing
Chaos, it seems, is costly.
The Hamburg School District has spent a staggering $224,000 on legal fees for the first half of this year.
Nearly half of that amount was targeted for the removal of Board Member Catherine Schrauth Forcucci and the legal maneuvers to keep her misconduct hearing closed to the public.
Legal work leading up to the charges of official misconduct brought against Schrauth Forcucci on April 30, followed by 21 hours of the hearing, cost the district $99,619. The hearing officer and court stenographer cost an additional $12,890, for a total of $112,509 for the hearing through the end of June. Hodgson Russ is giving the district a 10 percent discount on its fee for the hearing, bringing the net cost to $102,547.
But the legal invoices provided by the district are only through June 30, and they don’t include another 24 hours of the hearing conducted in August, or the legal costs associated with Superintendent Richard E. Jetter, who was put on paid administrative leave in July after he admitted to police that he, not vandals, damaged his car.
The invoices were released after a freedom of information request by The Buffalo News.

The Board Members who brought this about should be sued by taxpayers to recover the money.
They abused tax payers by using tax money to wage a personal assassination attempt against another board member. There is no ending this in a way to benefit tax payers - therefore tax dollars shouldn't have been used.
#Dems play musical chairs + patronage and nepotism = entitlement !
The gist of their complaints seem to be "she raises her voice when she argues..."
Ironically, crazy Jetter tried to depict her as crazy during the hearing. Remember when he said she acted like Jack Nicholson in The Shining? Now he's like Jack Nicholson in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.
The whole feud started over a a teenage girl who claimed she was raped at a party
