...and then, some wonder why the Speaker of the Ohio House (Jon Husted) likes charter schools!

From John Curry, June 4, 2007

Ohio Speaker of the House, Jon Husted, is a charter school backer. I'm sure he'll give you reasons why he supports the charters but....I'll bet he won't tell you about the campaign donations, will he? Well, here's a little info about that. Of course, public schools aren't allowed to give campaign donations (thank God), are they?

Ohiomoneytree.org is a website that you can go to, to do some great "look-ups" to see where campaign bucks went. I found the page below quite interesting. [Link to page: http://ohiomoneytree.org]

David Brennan - Chairman of White Hat Management (the Charter Schools)

And who might Nancy Brennan be? She's White Hat Management's Vice President.

And who might Ann Brennan be? She's the wife of David Brennan of White Hat Management.
