And now trump according to the people here has given many of the people hope that is the main thing im hearing that i have been spoking to. And they believe that about now. They say for eight years during the presidency. Trump has given few specifics, they like his vote on border troll and the fight against isis. Several people here have said they dont off love the vulgaritys. They want that toned down and are here anyway. Im very excited. I come from the east coast. Why did you make a long trip, i want to see trump. He is the only one that can straighten the country out. What he is speaking is dangerous, homo phobic t is going back to the past where we do not. There was a heated moment with a group of protestors, the protestors came right in line next to the supporters they started hitting a pinata of trump and that he is racist and preying on fears. Several Law Enforcement got very close just in case anything went south but everything and everybody turned out to be okay one thing going on as the campaign gave out. And to sit during the rally.

Developing right now in polk county. Memberrings discussing the future of the district there a short time ago the superintendent who has been under fire submitted her resignation. An investigation found that Kathryn Leroy may have crossed we go to ken suarez. They are listening to comments about Kathryn Leroy from educators, member of the public and others. One thing is clear she was contentious, she submitted her resignation, thats in the wake of an investigation that took months to complete and ended up in thousands of pages of documentation. It centered on a relationship between leroy and gregory rivers, staffer. Kathryn leroy had done nothing illegal but crossed a line professionally. Now many members of the community said she has to go no matter what. That would be discussed but she submitted the resignation. She skirted the issue. One of the outwoken critics is next to me. This is dr. Wendy bradshaw. What do you think about this . I think it is a disappointing situation were in all the way around in polk county but she positive steps forward t is just and in the public eye of an institution you are held to a higher morale standard. Fie theyll even though she was cleared of legal wrongdoing that there is still that perception of professionalism and credibility that you have to maintain and she lost that credibility when all of the allegations came out. Some of them were is a lacous but salacious and she had unprofessional difficulties with management and there were a lot of problems going on in the office that we didnt know about until this happened. And the bottom line is this, they have to vote on accepting the resignation, it probably will happen. And what compensation she will be given at this point it is 230,000. Back to you. Thank you.
