Listen "Trust Workshops and Smoking Garbage Bags"
Episode Synopsis
In this jaw-dropping episode of The FFE File, witness the Findlay City Schools Board's surreal "Trust Workshop" – a masterclass in bureaucratic irony that will leave you simultaneously laughing and outraged. Board member Chris Aldrich delivers a performance that defies logic, simultaneously acknowledging a trust deficit while categorically denying any responsibility for creating it. Listen as the board attempts an audacious blame-shifting exercise, where holding a metaphorical "smoking garbage bag" of administrative missteps becomes an art form of institutional evasion. From stonewalling public records requests to presenting mind-bending investigation timelines, this episode exposes the breathtaking disconnect between the board's proclamations of transparency and their actual conduct. Uncover how public officials can transform accountability into a bizarre performance art, revealing a profound disregard for community intelligence and trust. If you want to understand the remarkable gymnastics of institutional responsibility avoidance, this is your must-listen episode.
