RVANews On Governor Supporting Patrick Henry
RVAnews writer Chris Dovi has this to say:
If any question remains regarding Gov. Bob McDonnell’s commitment to Patrick Henry School of Science and Arts, his plan to personally host a fundraiser for the city’s first charter school should dispel all doubts.
Officials with the school confirm that McDonnell, along with delegates John M. O’Bannon (R-Henrico) and Joe Morrissey (D-Henrico), have committed to hosting an invite-only event on March 30.
“As of right now the details are still being worked out,” says Antione Green, chief executive officer for Patrick Henry. “It will be a community fundraiser. People will have the opportunity to demonstrate their financial support for Patrick Henry and at the same time get an opportunity to meet the governor.”
RTD has details on the charter school legislation moving forward.
Nice to see that the PH school is worth a gubernatorial fundraising effort while the rest of our public schools are not.
I can’t wait to see what kind of strings come along with McDonnell’s “assistance.”
