I was never too involved in politics before the funding for my children's public school was effected. Now, I feel like maybe ignorance is bliss...except that I'm so fricking mad that this BS is going on! Really...why am I shocked that these corrupt politicians are using the loopholes of the law to pad their pockets...and that greedy STOs are violating federal laws? But I am. I am really horrified. I want to vote all the yahoos out of office that voted for these bills. And shame on Jan Brewer for signing the corporate expansion bill!!!! First, she was for public education, and then last week she flip-flopped and now I hear about this. Honestly, my 6 year old could make better fiscal choices than those in office!!!

And Bob Stump...who just so happens to collect $57,000 for his 'charity' work collecting multi-millions of dollars for Yarbrough's STO during the year when he just so happens to run for Corporate Commissioner? ARIZONA - ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!! Please, please tell me that Yarbrough can get thrown in jail for this.

Davidson Sun, 02 Aug 2009 02:10:21 +0000 http://www.arizonaeducationnetwork.com/?p=1919#comment-173 I just read all of these articles and all I can say is "WOW!!!" Time to call our elected representatives and give them an earfull. It's bad enough that bill opened up millions of corporate dollars to private schools only, when we see the revenue to the general fund shrinking. Now it appears all but ONE STO/private school (both Catholic) have failed to diversify their student population, as was the spirit of the legislation. And the biggest is Rep. Yarbrough's Arizona Christian School Tuition Organization. AND he started a private high school, too? Profiteering isn't becoming of a Christain, fella. Take it from a Sunday school teacher, it's time Rep Yarbrough crack open his Bible and take a lesson from Zacchaeus.
