Fleming indictment is vindication for reformers, who are committed to finishing the job

Dana Parsons, The Los Angeles Times "You bet they feel vindicated. What they aren't feeling is charitable. You could say, in fact, they're just getting warmed up. The foes of former Capistrano Unified School District Supt. James Fleming — yes, the man had enemies — had reason to celebrate Thursday, if that's the right word. They had been loudly proclaiming in recent years that Fleming was running a corrupt administration, and now they've got county grand jury indictments against Fleming and his assistant superintendent to back them up."
