Today: On this Reporters' Roundtable Thursday, we talk with "Post-Tribune" reporter Carole Carlson, who's covered the major stories of the week surrounding the Gary Communty Schools - state emergency management team, including the revelation that a former state Superintendent of Public Instruction is on the board of the firm that now manages the GCSC. She reports on the reaction from northwest Indiana state legislators to the news, and also talks about the new emergency manager. Peter Morikis takes over for the retiring Peggy Hinckley. And Carole tells us that Gary teachers aren't going to get pay raises next year -- unless something changes, on a statewide level, to allow them.
