  1. You can surely expect the most inept lawyer to be hired for the board of education. State those at Lakewood has unlimited taxpayer funds for waste therefore they'll do their best to waste the taxpayers funds as much as possible

  5. Can't tell you who gave the heter, though , but anybody who disagrees is a kannai... The rabbi only agrees to tell his reasonings if everybody who disagrees with him will agree if It turns out that there's an actual basis for the heter, and not based on thin air...
