Carpet Bagging is Back and Evidently Lucrative

I don't mean to over dramatize, and everybody has to make a buck somehow but it seems a bit overdone. Goes with the times I guess. Right up there with my favorite - Modern Journalism: "Madame your son was just burned to a crisp in a horrific fire. How does that make you feel?" Anything to keep that engine of commerce going I guess....

"Eager contractors have called Jackson-Madison County School Board members at home, work and "everywhere else," Superintendent Roy Weaver said. The storm destroyed Denmark Elementary School and Jackson Middle School.

A few days after the tornado, some contractors approached an assistant superintendent's car while he stopped at a red light and asked him to pass on their business card, Weaver said. The contractors' sales packet was already in the superintendent's office."
