One item I forgot to bring up in today’s column: the board meeting to discuss Joshua Starr’s budget is scheduled for Feb. 3. That is the same night that the Stamford High School boys basketball team hosts Trinity Catholic, a showdown between two teams that are currently unbeaten and ranked in the top 10 in the state polls.
Was this a calculated move: people who care about sports will pack the Kuczo gymnasium while people like Starr, who does not, will have an easier time avoiding resistance to slashing the budget?
Given Starr’s total lack of knowledge of the Stamford sports scene, someone would have had to inform him about the Stamford-Trinity game.
I would call in part of a continuing pattern.
