Less than a year ago, Rosy, Castell, Challis, Eddie, and Corbin tried to makeout like Sen. Lawson was the guy ready to get rid of FAMU and have the state come in and run our finances; these individuals disrupted the renovations to the fieldhouse; sabotaged the boosters.
ReplyDeleteThey said that plans were already underway to renovate the fieldhouse and Sen Lawson's support was not needed.
They hired KPMG. Well we are still waiting on the audit, which is 2 1/2 months past due for public inspection.
Anyone heard from the boosters?
Look at Sen Lawson now, his actions are speaking volumes and so are their's.
Through it all, Sen. Lawson has handled himself like the senior statesman that he his.
ReplyDeleteBravo Al! Bravo!
Hail saint Lawson!
ReplyDeleteLawson has proven his loyalty to FAMU, time and time again, in dollars and cents.
ReplyDeleteRosy, Castell, Challis, Corbin, and the rest of the character assassins ought to be ashamed of themselves. How much money have they brought into the university lately?
