Craigslist Ad Makes Statement, But Not About Fashion

Man hopes ad sends message about the state of DISD schools

A Craigslist ad touts goods illegally purchased with Dallas Independent School District credit cards back in 2006.

Dallas native Wayne Hennry said he bought four women's blazers and a pair of earrings earlier this year when the school district auctioned off the spoils of its credit card scandal. Now he is reselling them on Craigslist for a charity he said his son is involved with.
 
Hennry said the ad is more about making a political statement, than a fashion statement.

โ€These items right here are showing you how your tax money is being spent and nobody, nobody at the school district is watching it,โ€ Hennry said.
 
All four of his items are listed for $100.  Henry said he believes it would be priceless to see someone wear one of the blazers to a school board meeting.

So far, he has sold one of the blazers.

โ€I said, 'Which one would you like?' and she said, 'I don't care I am going to have some fun with this, you just wait.'โ€
 
Hennry may not have to wait long. Trustees are scheduled to vote on next yearโ€™s budget at the end of this month.
