Knoxville Native Offers Firsthand Account of Life Under Broad's Most Vanilla Corporate Boss

Broad Foundation stooge, Jim McIntyre, is in the news again, at least in the alternative news, since the corporate media of Knoxville has never had an story that could reflect badly on the Haslam/Chamber of Commerce's pick for school superintendent. The Metro Pulse says in a solid piece of reporting that McIntyre is having another go at privatizing KCS's janitorial services, an effort that failed last spring.

Could this be a precursor to privatizing the teacher corps of Knoxville--or the entire state? Don't think I'm joking, for an effort is underway by Michigan's fascist governor, Rick Snyder, to do just that. This development puts McIntyre's refusal to acknowledge KCEA as a bargaining collaborating unit until the State makes clear its legislative intent into a whole new light.
