To do his job he has to do just what they want; become like-minded with his donors. In their minds teachers get paid too much and do not deserve pensions.<br /><br />Public schools should be run like businesses that are nonunion where owners have free rein to fire for whatever reason pleases them.<br /><br />This is also about finding a way to get public funds into catholic schools. Catholic schools where teachers are poorly compensated and subject for dismissal at a whim.<br /><br />Dan is scratching the itch of his donors and nothing more. It is all politics and you must fight them tooth and nail.<br /><br />Dan is more than a little disingenuous in that it was a very pro-union man that raised, fed, clothed and educated him on union wages him.<br /><br />Jim Elsener<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14707730.post-2446462644816335512014-01-06T17:49:19.474-05:002014-01-06T17:49:19.474-05:00Democrats are a bunch of cry babies.

As a State Board of Ed. member, did he actually vote for contracts, rules, and/or programs that enriched him or his university? If so, is there any evidence that he sought rulings from the State Ethics Commission before doing so? Do the entities like Teach for America who are now located at Marian University enrich Elsener and/or the University financially? Have they made large contributions to the University's fund-raising campaigns or to Elsener personally? Was some sort of quid pro quo involved for Elsener to hire Tony Bennett's wife or to gain the contracts for the Turnaround Academy, TFA, etc.? Did Dan Elsener correspond with Tony Bennett about campaign matters on state computers? How many State Board of Ed. hearings (as differentiated from meetings) did Dan Elsener fail to attend? <br /><br />Thank you for your work so far. I'm looking forward to updates.
