New Berlin – [story link: NewBerlinNow.com] School Superintendent Paul Kreutzer apparently will not let the district accept expensive gifts like electronic scoreboards bearing corporate logos because he fears a “commercial jungle”. Why? Does Kreutzer consider the golden arches too ugly to adorn the otherwise aesthetically pristine cinder-block interiors of our gymnasiums and cafeterias?
If you want to see something REALLY ugly on the walls, let’s engrave the names of our fixed-income, elderly, and widowed property owners forced to sell their homes because their annual tax bills now rival the actual mortgage payments they were making a half-century ago. The choice between accepting the largess of multi-million dollar corporate benefactors or raiding the pensions and trust-funds of seniors surviving on slim financial margins is not a tough call. Take the sponsorship money, dammit.
