This is incredibly well done political journalism. I don't know its reach, but it's a powerful intersection of policy and campaigning.

Texas shows taxpayers where voucher money goes. Florida can't account for $270 million in voucher money or find 30,000 students we're paying for. Blaise Ingoglia hid $342 million in contracts the law requires him to post in the FACTS database. As CFO, I'll follow the money.

A FL private school with reported payroll issues, unsafe conditions, and other concerns got $2.7M in taxpayer-funded vouchers in 2023-24.
Yet FL's own website says private schools aren't "regulated" by the DOE.
Accountability shouldn't be optional.

The continued dismantling of the Department of Education is an attack on all students, their education and their civil rights.
Our kids deserve a Department of Education that will stand up and fight for their futures, not let them slip through the cracks.

The American Historical Assoc. says FL's new state-funded U.S. history course "privileg[es] political talking points over sound scholarship" & promotes "inaccurate history unworthy of Florida's public schools."
Students deserve facts, not politics.

Public schools report their graduation rates. Many taxpayer-funded voucher schools don't.
Public schools answer to elected leaders. Many taxpayer-funded alternatives don't.
If taxpayer $ are on the line, accountability should be too.

Public school taxes were carved out of Florida’s property tax proposal. Here’s why:
In a nutshell, Floridians repeatedly vote FOR increased property taxes for their schools and including education cuts would threaten the proposal’s passage. link.tampabay.com/click/4602…

Donald Trump is running the greatest grift in American history. It’s corruption at a scale we've never seen in our lifetime.

Florida voucher program couldn’t fully account for $270M in taxpayer dollars last year.
Auditors recommended stronger oversight. Lawmakers ignored it.
Taxpayers deserve accountability and transparency.
