Memo From Rep. Williams: MPS Takeover Not Dead, Just Covert


Rep. Polly Williams isn’t going out without a fight… damn I respect that about this Sister. According to her information, the MPS Takeover isn’t dead yet. Williams is stating MPS School Board President Dr. Michael Bonds reports there was a covert meeting of supporters of the Takeover with WI Superintendent Tony Evers at DPI 4.7.2010.
