Ha Ha! I cannot think of a better example of a man who has set the bar very, very low!
I find it difficult to imagine anyone using my level of tact, which is often inverted, as some sort of objective to reach for. I am far more familiar with people trying to distance themselves from my decisions.
Your example is a great one, however. I too have gotten involved locally, even to the point of running for a seat on the school board, because I have found that most public education organizations will take any and all problems, and see the only possible solution is to throw money at it. Would not be such a problem, but it is our tax money they are using to fix any and all problems. Truly a situation where we pay over and over for the Cadillac and barely get the Yugo. I believe that frequently we pay for a fleet of caddies and get one out of tune Yugo, often with that little doughnut of a spare instead of a tire...
