Observed: Decision devolves into shameful display

When members of the Manatee County School Board last week voted 3-2 to institute a 1.75% pay cut and furlough days - retroactive to the beginning of the school year, no less - they surely knew the outrage it would cause.

OUR VIEW: The lesson from Ley

In the totality of his tenure, you can easily argue Jim Ley performed well as Sarasota County administrator. So his resignation last week - or to be more precise, the circumstances that led to his departure - should not forever or indelibly blemish his 14-year record.

Cops Corner

Backhanded compliment 12:02 a.m. - Main Street and Palm Avenue. Fight. Two acquaintances were having drinks at a restaurant bar. At some point in the evening, a third person told one of the men that he had an attractive girlfriend. That man's friend then added that she was much too attractive for him. The two friends began to argue, and the one who gave the backhanded compliment ended up with a torn shirt and a head butt to the face. He wants to press charges against his insulted friend.
