Howard Rich wants to use “Our Children” as lab rats in his radical social experiment of school vouchers

The Results of Rich Giving Money = Puppets like Mulvaney in the Lancaster Area (SD16)

Only one SC House member took more money from Howard Rich than Mick Mulvaney did in 2006.  Mulvaney got $9,000 from Rich and at least another $11,000 from Rich’s associates, and won the general election by 209 votes.  But now that word is getting around about Mr. Rich, Mulvaney is distancing himself and has vowed to take no more funds from him.  - Ross Shealy

Mulvaney is still 100% pro voucher and I would not be surprised if he did start receiving contributions in the blackout period.

Here are some inserts from an article that came out in the Herald on Oct. 15 entitled “Mulvaney, Powers-Norrel Debate School Vouchers, Economic Development.”

“Our public schools are not perfect,” Norrell said. “But nobody can convince me that taking money away from our public schools and giving it to private schools is the answer.”
Mulvaney has argued that vouchers should be considered as one option for improving South Carolina’s low-performing school districts.
“Let’s focus on the kids who are not being served,” he said. “There are kids getting ready to graduate who have never been in a school that meets state standards. I’m open for all suggestions.”

We obviously agree with Mandy and furthermore we know that her position on vouchers is pure and not because somebody gave her money to think any differently. (aka “suggestions”)
