This happens ALL THE TIME here in Philly, and I suspect it happens everywhere else as well:
PHILADELPHIA Jurors in Dorothy June Brown’s federal fraud trial heard Tuesday about multiple salaries paid to Brown and money she received from management firms she controlled.
Brown is accused of defrauding the four charter schools she founded of $6.7 million and then conspiring with two former administrators to obstruct justice by orchestrating a cover-up.
Francis L. Gizaza, an accountant who began preparing tax returns for Brown’s schools in 1998, reviewed several years of nonprofit tax forms for the schools. Assistant U.S. Attorney Joan E. Burnes asked him to highlight Brown’s salaries.
In the fiscal year that ended June 30, 2006, Brown was paid a total of $472,483 from three of her schools: $186,929 as the chief executive of the Laboratory Charter School; $108,554 as CEO of Ad Prima Charter School; and $177,000 as executive director of Main Line Academy, a small private school for students with special needs she established in Bala Cynwyd.
For profit military, for profit prisons, for profit health care, for profit education . . . Government run just like a business. One person gets rich, everyone else gets the business.
A Thanksgiving message, but first the dichotomy. Those who are in favor of charter schools usually hate the government. For a variety of reasons. They do love the governments money however. For only one reason; which is their own greed. In Luke 3:11, communist John the Baptist said this, “Let him who has two tunics, share with him who has none; and let him who has food do likewise.” In Matthew 25: 14-30, Christ said, “….and to one he gave five talents (coins), to another two…….to each according to his particular ability.” Karl Marx said, “From each according to their ability, to each according to their needs.” You can see why the Capitalists might hate Marx and distort the Christian message for their own greedy reasons. And so it is with charter schools.
