The Golden Rule

Last fall’s Wake County school board elections followed The Golden Rule of Politics: Them that has the gold rules.
 
Bob Luddy and Art Pope – two of the biggest opponents of public schools – were the biggest contributors to school board candidates.
 
Their side, according to The News & Observer, outspent the other side to elect four Republican-backed candidates.
 

 

Luddy and Pope themselves contributed $38,000.
 
Here’s a place where the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling on corporate campaign spending could have a big impact.
 
There are some big businesses in Raleigh and WakeCounty that care – or should care – about the public schools.
 
Time to ante up.
