Can and should
Editor, Daily News:
I agree with both the Daily News editorial and published letters criticizing the Collier County School Board’s firing of Superintendent Ray Baker.
It is my opinion there is sufficient reasonable suspicion to warrant a criminal investigation by the state attorney of violations of Florida’s Sunshine Law and criminal conspiracy by board members Richard Calabrese, Linda Abbott and Steve Donovan. Indeed, their interstate communications with Rockford, Ill., school superintendent Dennis Thompson may have subjected them to federal violations of Baker’s civil rights.
The news reports of the prior actions of these board members and their contacts with Thompson leading to Baker’s firing smell of collusion. The appropriate authorities to investigate the actions of these board members rests with our duly elected law-enforcement and prosecutorial officers.
The Daily News editorial said: "Calabrese, Abbott and Donovan fired Baker because they could. And they did."
State Attorney Steve Russell should investigate their actions because he can. And he should.
