That's because they *are* nothing but minor politicians. Years ago, in
the small town that I grew up in, a local businessman provided the
school buses for our school district. A small business that employed
maybe 1/2 dozen drivers plus himself. He was making a living at the
business but not gouging anybody, either.
A hot-shot young lawyer moved into town and told the school board they
couldn't just hire him year after year without competing bids. The
following year a large bus company with state-wide contracts out bid him
and literally put him out of business. I don't know if he ever
recovered financially from that.

I find school boards just as frustrating to deal with as politicians.

Well Liz and I heard form the "new" bus company today. I was already
at my first school when they called, and Liz told me of the phone
call.
Seems all of the Stouffville runs are gone, only thing available for
us are two runs in Aurora and Newmarket south. With these runs we
would not be able to park locally, we would have to drive to their
yard all the time.
I have decided, for now, to take the one offered to me, Liz will let
them know Wednesday morning.
So, now i have to add more insurance to the truck, spend more on fuel,
and take about a 5-10% pay cut. I already took a 70% pay cut form my
previous job to this one.
Arg. Well at least i have time to look around at other options..
