Massachusetts: “Robert C. Cirba, a member of the Spencer-East Brookfield Regional School Committee and former candidate for state representative, has resigned from the committee after the state Department of Labor Relations found that comments he made on his blog interfered with teacher negotiations.” Cirba had written disrespectfully on his blog about the Spencer-East Brookfield Teachers Association and says the teacher’s union had threatened to sue him personally as well as pursue a legal complaint against the board over the writings.

This is truly a sad day for Bob Cirba fans everywhere. 🙁
“School Superintendent Ralph E. Hicks said … both he (Cirba) and Mr. James had violated negotiation ground rules, …”
Which begs the questions, was the union negotiator, Mr. James forced to step down as well?
Why Amelia?
Now he can blog freely about these issues without fear of reprisal.
True, Jay. True.
