Memphis TV stations can’t get enough of Williams
A friend in Memphis tells me the local TV media has been having a field day with James Williams’ past escapades in Dayton and elsewhere while all but ignoring the other four candidates for school superintendent. I went looking for some of those TV reports and found a familiar face on this one. Remember when Andrew Douglas was a TV reporter in Dayton? He remembers being here, and he remembers James Williams, too. Take a look.
Meanwhile, back in Buffalo, Williams tells the local media that the city should consider it “a great honor” that he is being considered for the job in Memphis. A Buffalo radio station reports Williams telling the school board to “make me feel appreciated” if they want to keep him. (His contract there runs through 2011.) And on a Buffalo News blog, they ask if it’s time for Williams to go.

It was really a nice treat to see the clip of Andrew Douglas. As to “JAWS” possible move to Memphis: If after all they have been warned about they still decide to hire him, they deserve exactly what they get. The sad part is, the kids don’t. Once again, they will be the real losers.
