More schadenfreude

The San Antonio Express News print edition emphasizes this point -$4.9M spent and 8 FEWER state reps for school voucher pusher James Leininger. Kudos to H-E-B's Charles Butt who gave nearly $300K to the Texas Parent PAC and $375K to endorsed candidates. Wow! An employer who recognizes the benefit of an educated, not endoctrinated, workforce!

James Leininger spent nearly $5 million this year trying to elect voucher-friendly lawmakers to the Legislature, but now the retired San Antonio businessman and physician is farther from his goal than ever.

A new parent-driven political action committee that promotes public education — and opposes school vouchers — endorsed a dozen winning state House candidates this year. The success of the Texas Parent PAC leaves Leininger with roughly eight fewer House supporters than he had before last week's elections.
