As you drive down Shea Boulevard, you can’t miss the new charter school being built in the neighborhood. Is this one that has its financing guaranteed by the State; which means you and me?

We can't seem to find money to fix our public schools, but we can guarantee loans for charters. $5 million was appropriated for the Kock’s ASU anti-public schools brain tank. The Arizona schools piggy bank at the Land Trust is being robbed big time. Is there something wrong with this picture?

ACTSO and other charter funding sources get 10 percent of the funds donated as their cut, making some of our politicians and past legislative member millions. In Las Vegas they used to call this skimming. In Arizona, it’s legal.

Don’t you think it is time to audit the entire Charter School system? How our tax money is being spent has been ignored for far too long. It is time to check up and find out where the money flows.

No controls over contracts and spending leads to corruption, and we are there and have been for a long time. If it is not there then I am OK with it. Let’s find out.
