During a very rough time for many Williamson county citizens, where cuts have been made to government budgets and individuals have taken pay cuts and even lost their jobs,
Mike Looney shows plenty of hubris in his recent dealings with the school board.
Looney’s contract requests rile county commissioners
By Donna O'Neil
Looney proposed a $1 million term life insurance policy. The board agreed to a $100,000 policy, $70,000 more in coverage than current employees.
The final contended issue was legal terms regarding the potential payout if Looney was unilaterally terminated. Minor changes were made to the currently offered board proposal, where Looney would be paid up money equaling up to 24 months of his contract. Looney wanted a 10 percent premium, which the board turned down.
The item Looney removed without issue was the request that board offer "assistance to the extent possible with [his] spouse's employment."
Hopefully, he will show more reserved judgment for at least the short term, during the rest of these contractual talks.
