Nothing like enriching yourself off of crappy legislation you helped pass 😡

[torbee]

This is such bullshit:

Iowa legislator opening his own private school, to be funded by vouchers he voted for

A new private school being opened by an Iowa State representative will be dependent on taxpayer funds to operate.

Didn't someone lecture HORT a few months back about how teachers shouldn't be able to participate in certain discussions, or processes legislatively, because they stood to benefit? I think his handle rhymed with Porthern?
I'm not sure on that, there was an awful lot of scolding and finger wagging, I do remember that.

I remember Pinehawk being in favor of vouchers program as well.

This was the goal

 

[tarheelbybirth]

This was the goal

The goal of the GOP is always to transfer public money to private hands. As much as possible. As quickly as possible. That has been the goal for decades - they just don't bother trying to hide it anymore because they have a large cohort of idiots cheering them on.

The genuine private schools like Trinity Lutheran School
in Davenport are supported by a local congregation Trinity
Lutheran Church. Trinity Lutheran School has been in existence
for over 100 years without any financial support from the state
of Iowa. This is a high quality school with a good reputation in
the community. Private schools like Trinity Lutheran will survive
because they offer a quality education.

Are they turning down vouchers?

There is a "School" listed in the 2024-2025 BEDS on the IAHSAA site that has a BEDS of 2. 2 kids. Want to guess what "kind" of school it is?

It’s just funny because there were predictions of this when the voucher program was proposed and posters like Northern and Pinehawk assured us that wouldn’t happen.

Your memory needs refreshing.

JFC people, just be consistent in your outrage. Is that too much to ask?

Yep, this is what they do.

Policy is formed by $$$$$, not belief systems. But like this guy, they don’t even try to hide their motives anymore.

A republican legislator enriching himself off the taxpayers isn’t a concern but Torbee posting about it twice is. Also no mention of deficits, debt or fiscal responsibility. Those are only an issue when tax dollars are going to someone other than the wealthy or their corporations

BAU for GIAHORT MAGA

I’ll keep posting it. It should spark outrage every day until the grift is stopped.

Thanks for posting this @torbee.

Gross. But very expected.

The next step will be the state finding a way to allow vouchers to go to parents who homeschool.

Meanwhile, the foreign state of Israel is buying off American politicians to squash free speech in this country with their ‘Anti-Semitism Act’.

Very disappointed in Ashley Hinson - selling her vote for only 69K. 😊

Why not be a high-priced call girl like Speaker Johnson and hold out for 10X that much? Know your worth, Ash.

Iowa has a citizen legislature. Do you feel the same way when citizen legislators in the education and farming industry vote on bills that result in a financial benefit for them?

Like I said before, just be consistent here.

Well, it looks like Torbee has identified the saps and rubes who want their tax dollars shunted off for personal choices with no over sight or accountability, twice.

 

[gohawks50]

This is already on the table. It will eventually happen.

When it happens there will be many children being "homeschooled" simply so their parents can cash the checks especially since there will be no oversight of whether actual education is happening.

You can feed a meth habit for a good stretch with those sweet free dollars that Northern is handing over.

Welfare checks, food stamps, and $7635 per school age child!

 

[tumorboy]

My favorite is the Rocket Ship private school. Think it’s officially a non profit started by one of the Google founders. So they always push the non profit narrative. It’s all PC based. The software , course work, etc etc is all owned by the founder and that isn’t a non profit. He’s making a killing all while getting to clam its a non profit and go around the country on a photo op tour.

This wouldn’t be happening if public schools wouldn’t belittle and disparage kids who want to go into the trade skills. Trade jobs are more important than the arts.

The subject was ‘politicians are greedy whores’. A subject so important OP decided it needed to be brought up…again (speaking of whores; if that’s not attention whoring I don’t know what is).

But you’re right. Some idiot state legislator starting a private school in Iowa is probably way more important than a foreign government owning our politicians lock, stock & barrel.

Tool.
