Rhee’s NJ frontman and hedge fund billionaire endorses Romney. See his personal income
Recently, Rhee’s NJ frontman and hedge fund billionaire, David Tepper, endorsed Mitt Romney. He also said that there was no limit to the amount of money he was giving Rhee for her war on teachers. Not a single penny goes into the classroom to help students. It’s being spent to buy ads, pricey lobbyists and politicians. Students first? Not by a long stretch.

“Mr. Tepper lives in New Jersey where the governor has gone to war with the teachers, hoping to break the union and balance the budget on the backs of our students. But Governor Christie’s enthusiasm for a balanced budget only goes so far: He’s resolutely opposed to reinstituting the “millionaires’ tax” -even though the state’s fiscal crisis is a direct consequence of what millionaires and billionaires did on Wall Street.
Mr. Tepper’s personal income for 2009 would have covered the salaries of 62 percent of public school teachers–who reach 855,600 students. (Mean salary $57,645 )“
