Gov.@dougducey budget appears to include $10 million to help charter schools, which already get more in per-pupil state funding than district schools, with transportation and a taxpayer-funded open enrollment campaign. PS. Charter owners are big Ducey campaign donors.
Among @dougducey big charter school operator donors is @Primavera_AZ founder @DamianCreamer,who has received millions in shareholder distributions from tax dollars.

BREAKING: Another Biden supporter, Emanuel Zanders III, has been charged with widespread election fraud in Louisiana.State by state we're finding more and more election fraud. Kudos to law enforcement for proving that our votes matter.
BATON ROUGE, La – Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry and Secretary of State Kyle Ardoin Thursday morning announced their offices have arrested an Amite City Councilman on eight counts of election fraud.
Emanuel Zanders, III is accused of submitting voter registration applications that are known by the person to be materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent.
At a news conference in Baton Rouge, both Attorney General Landry and Secretary Ardoin expressed the importance of election integrity through free and fair elections. They stressed that every legal voter gets one legal vote and no more: one man, one vote.
“Anything other than a one-for-one vote distorts our election process,” said Attorney General Landry. “Those who wish to distort an election in this matter are breaking the law and betraying their fellow citizens. It is even more disheartening when the perpetrator is an elected official.”
“Election integrity matters,” said Secretary Ardoin. “Yesterday’s arrest is the culmination of work by my office, the Attorney General's Office, the Registrar of Voters, and others; and it proves that the multi-level checks and balances of our election processes and procedures work. This should serve as a stark warning to those looking to violate our election laws.”
Councilman Zanders was arrested and charged on Monday afternoon. His arrest was a result of the ongoing, joint investigation between the Louisiana Bureau of Investigation and the Secretary of State's Office.
In October, the Tangipahoa Parish Registrar of Voters contacted the Secretary of State's Office with concerns that voter registration forms were being turned in with fraudulent address information.
It is alleged that Councilman Zanders purposefully manipulated over twenty Louisiana citizens into illegally changing their voter registration by asking citizens to sign registration forms that he would later complete with a fraudulent address. It is further alleged that Councilman Zanders submitted another voter registration application on behalf of a citizen using his own address.
In September, the Attorney General Landry’s Office and Secretary Ardoin’s Office worked together to bring a Crowley woman to justice for purposefully failing to mark an elderly voter’s ballot in the manner dictated by said voter.
“Election integrity is the bedrock of our election process. I am proud of the work Secretary Ardoin has done to protect our elections and weed out bad actors who wish to betray our system and way of life,” concluded Attorney General Landry.
