They don’t seem to be crooked, just completely unnecessary.
The city/county should handle items 1 and 2. The police/sheriff should handle bullet point 3. The school board should handle the 4th item.
Gotta wonder why this trust even exists….oh yeah, the mindless voters approved this middleman organization in 2018. I hope they voted for this unnecessary entity because they were deceived and not because they actually believed it was needed. All they do is scrape off the top while avoiding proper oversight. Redundant redundancy.
