For-Profit Operator in Ohio Wins Big Increase
David Brennan of White Hat Management operates a few dozen mostly low-performing charter schools for profit in Ohio. Since 1999, he has collected nearly $1 billion for his operations, which include virtual charters. Oh, yes, he is also a major contributor to Republicans, especially Governor John Kasich and legislative leaders. In budget negotiations, he was just rewarded with an additional payment of $4.2 million a year.
At the same time, Ohio legislators reduced poverty assistance across the state.
Say this for the Ohio legislature: they know what their priorities are. Reverse Robin Hood: take from the poor and give to the rich.
