CB Taxpayers Against Wasteful Spending

The Issue

**After you sign the petition, please do not feel you need to donate on the page - that $ goes toward the website and not our local efforts. Thanks again!**

We, the undersigned, are deeply concerned by the total irresponsibility and lack of transparency by Central Bucks School District school board majority who recklessly awarded a no-bid contract for legal services to a politically-connected lawyer from Philadelphia who charges $940 an hour and has already charged local taxpayers $114,000 for one month. We are additionally concerned that the School Board majority approved a $15,000 a month no-bid contract to a Philadelphia PR firm. Aside from the lack of transparency and failure to ask for public bids, this is a reckless and irresponsible waste of taxpayer money.  We ask the school board to immediately take the following steps to safeguard our tax dollars and to publicly release all documents requested below:

- Cancel your contract with the politically-connected Philadelphia attorney earning $940/hour from taxpayer dollars 
- Provide evidence of the work received for his first month's payment of over $114,000. Please provide the public with invoices and deliverables. 
- Cancel the $15,000/month that goes to a Philadelphia PR firm without going out for bids. 
- Provide evidence of the work received for the Philadelphia PR firm's $15,000/month payments as well what justified their January payment for $30,000. Please provide the public with invoices and deliverables. 
- Cease from providing six-figure contracts to the politically connected without going out to bid or requiring a request for proposals. 
- Focus the use of taxpayer dollars on providing the children in our community with the best education possible. 

Sincerely, 
Concerned Taxpayers of the Central Bucks School District
