I'm fine with background checks. I understand why the state wants to eliminate some people and also wants to limit liability. Unlike Nevada, I am willing to subject myself to such a check. I just want to know why officials end up bearing the costs of such things and it isn't passed through to the schools.
To me, it's the same answer to one of my favorite jokes: Because they can.
(There's part of me that wonders why officials need to pay anything to officiate games. Why do we? Same answer - "Because they can.")
