Howard Rich still at it [View all]
For several years, NY realty tycoon Howard Rich has been trying to destroy the public school system by getting weak state governments to pass "school choice" laws. So far SC has managed to resist the temptation, but there's another bill in the General Assembly this year.
State newspaper article
The "advocacy group" mentioned in the article, South Carolinians for Responsible Government, is part of Rich's apparatus. All the funding goes through convoluted channels, so nobody really knows how much money Rich is spending here. My question is, if his cause is so noble, why is he doing everything in the shadows?
