Maybe this guy is perfectly happy in retirement. He was asked to coach and just through some things out there to see if Bell County would bite to make it worth his while to leave his retirement. If they gave him what he wanted, he takes the job. If not, he's still happy in retirement. That doesn't make him a horrible guy who doesn't care about kids--it just makes him a guy who was (apparently) sought out by this administration. He just told them what it would take. I'm completely an outsider and don't know any of these people, but that's what it looks like to me.

You don't "leave" your retirement. You draw it plus what you are making in another state or when you return to work. Hence the term "double dip." He is looking to draw retirement PLUS take a full salary here from a person needing a job. Just a money grab. It will not happen!! I have personally spoken to 2 board memembers. Each on opposite sides of the fence. Both are very quick to say they don't hire and fire. But they do get to decide about these jobs this bunch is wanting to create. They will not happen.
