Erm… maybe I’m living under a rock but is this an actual problem?

Edit: not challenging the comment, just really curious if this is actually happening? My utility bill has gone up significantly since I moved in 3 years ago and I assumed it was a combo of more laundry/dishes (had a baby) and increasing prices

Its not Seiberts it's No Limt Towing and Recovery over Hull Street. They do alot of towing downtown for apartments and southside

They towed my sisters car a few months ago and charged her... wait for it 350 to get her car back. The thing is. They towed it from her parking spot at a complex she lived in for years. Granted they said they never had seen the car before, and they couldn't see the tag. But just be looking for about 10 seconds and it's clearly visible even though the windows are tinted. They also scratched the holy hell out of the car, she had gotten it maybe 2 weeks prior.

When you call the place a woman picks up and she's rude as hell. There's no actual line to a business it's just her cell phone. It's shit all together. They mostly stick to African American neighborhoods in the Southside

It’s a complex issue. Scores were similarly low at many schools. I doubt you’ll be shocked to hear that white teachers report higher satisfaction at schools with white principals. https://www.brookings.edu/blog/brown-center-chalkboard/2020/07/13/teachers-are-people-too-racial-bias-among-american-educators/?preview_id=905180

Knowing something about the organizing at Holton, it’s clear that mainly white, mainly privileged folks are trying to oust her through improper channels (e.g. expecting access to what is really confidential HR material), and it’s become a chicken/egg thing. Only someone with superhuman emotional detachment could lead while being treated like this.

Don’t get me wrong, our teachers need all the support they can get. But if the cure is worse than the disease, look around and see who is behind the strategy of tearing apart a community while claiming you’re saving it.
