Bush Foundation Snubs Florida Republican Senators Who Voted Against Parent Trigger

Sunshine State News chief legal correspondent Eric Giunta has become the go-to journalist when Jeb Bush’ Foundation for Excellence in Education (FEE) wants to get something out there. One only needs to consider hishit piece on the parent advocate groups who opposed Parent Trigger and this similarly themed spin on Fund Education Now.
Giunta carries FEE’s water again today in publishing the foundation’s annual legislative report card.  No surprises. The republican legislators who sponsored bill’s they favored received high marks, many of them getting bonus points. On the senate side, the self-described non-partisan foundation assigned F’s to 8 of the 13 democrats.
FEE also used the report card to rebuke four of the six republican senators who voted against Parent Trigger.
