Who is the ONE MAN taking MILLIONS of Ohio tax dollars and who is he bribing every year to make sure he remains untouchable? Here is the list… There must be an ethics violation somewhere.
Download the excel spreadsheet – William Lager Political Contributions 2010-2015 or see the table below.
ECOTs owner, William Lager, is a very savvy businessman. He knows he can’t get millions in tax dollars if the politicians aren’t willing to give it to him; so he needs to grease their palms every now and then. Actually, he does it a lot.
The Ohio Secretary of State’s website allowed me to pull contribution data from 2011 through 2015. In that five year span, Mr. Lager has cut one hundred and twenty one checks totaling $984,302 to ECOT friendly politicians. And keep in mind, he’s been doing this since 2000, there are 12 years of contributions pay-offs not included here. MUST. BE. NICE.
And keep in mind, for this the good people of Ohio get the worst performing school in the nation.
A very good article on William Lager’s political influence was written on plunderbund in 2014.
