WaPo: Spineless Congress’ school funding boondoggle looted food stamps to boost teachers’ union
By News Release @ 7:25 PM :: 9995 Views :: Maui County, Education K-12, Energy, Environment, National News, Ethics
|
Despite all the negative ads saying Charles Djou voted against funding for schools, we know that actually no Hawaii schools were ever in danger of closing, nor were any teacher jobs at risk. Consider the following from the Washington Post's editorial board. They call this bailout for states a "boondoggle" and that "With schools in session, it's even clearer now than it was then that the numbers were exaggerated and that the measure was in no small part intended to motivate the powerful teachers unions for this fall's midterm elections."

...police reported the car was registered to my opponent, Rep. Jessica Wooley, and her husband. When police called her, she did not deny her car was there and said it must have been a volunteer, but that she didn't know who it was. She also claimed to have only taken the signs down and left them in front of the house, but as we reported, the signs were stolen and thrown into her van. Someone mysteriously returned signs at the place they were stolen with a note saying the property caretakers didn't want the signs up. But these were not the same signs stolen from the property and we confirmed with the property caretakers that they indeed supported our campaign and wanted a sign in their home.
