In the second season episode “Dr. Pierce and Mr. Hyde”, Hawkeye sends President Truman a rather terse telegram. (For our younger readers, a telegram is sort of like a 1880s version of an email.)
Anyway, the entire text of Hawkeye's telegram is “Who’s responsible?”
That question has been posed rather frequently here, but thanks to an emailer, here's the answer in writing. Let's set the wayback machine to April 2007, just days before the primary that paved the way forward to the Stop the School control of the Morrisville school board. Location: The Bucks County Courier Times legal notices.
So when those board members try and point the finger of shame about "inherited problems" or "you stopped the cursory March safety inspection", all they can point to is their own reflection in the mirror. These five people knew the schools were crumbling, yet chose to stop the only solution in play, and then didn't have a solution of their own as a replacement.
Who's responsible? There's five names there. Book 'em, Danno.

When they said "STOP THE SCHOOL" I mistakenly thought they meant the new building. Turns out they meant the institution of learning.
Hey, quit your blubberin'. When we get through with this baby you won't even recognize it.
You can't spend your whole life worrying about our mistakes! You ****ed up - you trusted us!
Where's Jack Lord when you need him?
