Jan Resseger nails the politicians who are responsible for ignoring the ECOT scam. The $1 billion that ECOT took to produce inferior education (or none at all) was purchased with campaign contributions, 92% of it to Republicans.
As it happens, the guilty politicians are running for state office this November. In only a few weeks, they will be judged by the voters.
Jon Husted, the Republican candidate for lieutenant governor; Keith Faber, the Republican candidate for state auditor; Mike DeWine, the Republican candidate for governor; and Dave Yost, the Republican candidate for attorney general.
Will the voters in Ohio remember in November who skimmed millions from their public schools to enrich the owner of ECOT?

I would bet that those who manipulated public money as a means to help ECOT get rich also had personal interests in the process: invesments? kickbacks?

Hopefully voters will take these things into consideration and vote accordingly. I am uncertain though particularly after the Cynthia Nixon loss. I think some voters do not make much effort to analyze the issues and see who support those issues.

Jan has it nailed. ECOT was an epic failure for 17 years and no one has gone to jail. We have comparable problems of corruption in the charter school industry.
