If I read this right, and I think I do, and EdNews is getting it right, and I think she is, then here’s what happens.
Douglas County School District (DCSD), like all 183 Colorado school districts, get’s their piece of per pupil funding from the state legislature.
Then, for up to 500 kids starting next year, they give 75% of the state contribution to the kid’s family to send that kid to the
madrassaprivate school of choice.Douglas County tax payers have no more skin in this game than any tax payer in Colorado, and yet they get to elect their own school board.
if i were lucky enuff to have a Mom like Beej & I lived in DougCo could Mommie not only celebrate Hick’s cuts to Ed funding throwing hard working teachers on the street but also cash in that voucher paying herself 4 my skoolin? WooHoo!
her gratitude to John Caldera?
I mean she might want to, but would she have to?
but he is not a mom
How do you KNOW he/she/it is not a mom? Are you releasing inside information?
oh yeah, he was lieing on it
that beej has been profiled as a blogging basement boy and truth B told there are pics that could prove it … but I’m not sharing
Yea, looks like a certain 501(c)(3) was lobbying the school board…
I mean are is II a 501 (c) 3?
Are 501 c 3’s not allowed to lobby? Or draft legislation?
Not sure what II’s tax status is, I would say probably.
c3s have to limit their lobbying activity, if they file an election to about 20% of expenditures.
c3s cannot engage in electioneering (supporting or opposing, or appearing to support or oppose a candidate). c3s can support or oppose ballot initiatives (because the electorate is acting as a legislative body in that case, but lobbying limits apply). Oh, and I am not a lawyer, please seek competent counsel if needed and all that.
not just Republican upper middle-class kids from Douglas county. Certainly, the State does not want to be seen as being deferential to only one priviledged segment of society.
Dyslexia means you get the words out of order. It doesn’t mean you use totally different words to express a very different thought.
Man up Caldera and own what you are really thinking.
that it’s kind of offensive to confuse foot-in-mouth syndrome/I-can’t-read-my-own-shit-before-pressing-send disease with an actual disorder.
How about we give it a proper name? To coin a phrase, he pulled a Caldara.
The guy’s panicking because in a moment of weakness he was actually speaking honestly for a change.
That just wouldn’t do for the Independence Institute. Next you’ll have Tom Tancredo admitting he hates Mexicans.
Jon Caldara and Amy Oliver attempt to take credit for every political victory while they conveniently forget their overwhelming political failures.
I.I. falls victim to the same perils that plague all government. They have no profit motive, customer feedback, price mechanism or other market correction features.
Essentially Jon Caldara operates in a vacuum or an ivory tower if you prefer. Amy Oliver only serves to amplify this situation.
I must clarify, not every member of II is pompous. It is about a 50/50 split. Many there are humble servants, the other 50% are no different than the bureaucrats and elected officials I am forced to deal with.
Its the rich right-wingers who fund him. His primary goal is to keep them happy, success politically is secondary.
Mikey Rosen also took a bow for the success of the Republican BOE’s decision for vouchers. He said he had used his radio show to promote these candidates; even had them on his show. Free airtime for the “chosen.”
I bet he’s making union scale…
