Gadfly Bites 8/7/23—“I can’t go anywhere where somebody doesn’t stop me and say, it’s about time.”

  1. Only one clip today, but I think it’s great that this one stands on its own…for a lot of reasons. The new-ish interim superintendent of Dayton City Schools wants to change almost everything about the district he now leads. That’s a lot of change, if you ask me.

Just sayin’. (Dayton Daily News, 8/7/23)
