Barbara Phillips, one of the board members scheduled to go to Hawaii and a bus driver for Ashland City Schools, opposed the revised policy that would limit a board member’s travel expenses to $6,000 each year. Phillips, whose out-of-state travel totaled more than $15,000 last year, said she doesn’t know how to invest the fund’s $11 billion in assets and needs out-of-state conferences to find out how.

The conference, hosted by the National Conference of Public Employee Retirement Systems, includes lecture sessions for attendees such as “Helping participants improve financial security” and “Avoiding a front page scandal at your pension fund.”

So she's been on the job more than a year, and claims she STILL doesn't know how to do her job?

You didn't catch the part about her being a bus driver did you?

 

Uh, someone has to drive the bus. She can decide how she wants to handle the 11 billion pension fund between the morning drive and the afternoon drive.
