Damn, I can see where everyone is coming from on this one. The residents of Granite City do often give the impression that they feel they are looked down upon by other cities in the area, mainly Edwardsville and Glen Carbon. Hiring an outsider for the Principal's post may well work out, but I'm not sure it was the right decision. They probably could have brought in any number of qualified people, but they chose to select an outsider. Sometimes the grass is greener on the other side, but sometimes it isn't.
