While I understand Grossi’s point about inaccurate info being presented, the board didn’t ask for a public update on the budget on a major construction project during a time of unprecedented cost increases in construction? Huh? I think it’s 100% clear this board should resign / ISBE needs to step in immediately. The board particular idiots like Biz, Sergio, Joey and Soo La might have waived their middle fingers at tax payers when they paraded around all their equity BS (the results of which are dismal) and support for Horton (their job was to police him and the CFO not create a fan club). This is only going to get worse when the teachers contract is inked.

I agree this board needs to go. What would trigger ISBE's intervention? Voter turnout in 2023 was abysmal which gives the impression that Evanston residents just don't care.

The threshold for ISBE involvement is so high that I don't think there's any realistic situation where they get involved. It's up to the voters!

Given the lack of inaction and oversight by the city and state, residents need to hold them all accountable! We a need flyers of this information (a summary of this Board’s incompetence) so that voters are informed… in case the Board thought the Bessie Rhodes families are over what they’ve done to us on top of all the outrageous financial problems , well then they continue to underestimate us
