Disgraced Former Assembly Speaker Jensen Helping Children Pick the Right Private Voucher School. Nice start Racine.

I remember when Scott Walker expanded the voucher system to Racine, the sh** hit the fan:  

AP-School leaders in Racine are urging Republicans who control the Legislature to remove a provision from the state budget allowing voucher schools in that city. Racine Unified School District Superintendent Jim Shaw said that vouchers in his city will result in the defunding of public education, raise property taxes and make it harder to balance the school budget without cutting positions.
 

Now parents are trying to adjust their comfort level with the new voucher reality. Parents now have to figure out how to interpret promotional fliers that claim that each of their choices are the best school around. Trust, but verify, right? But parental worries are justified when you consider who organized an informational meeting recently at a local sports complex.

RACINE: About 100 families stopped in during the first couple of hours;

“There are some parents who came with their applications filled out,” said Scott Jensen. He is senior adviser to the American Federation for Children and a former speaker of the state Assembly. The federation helped organize Sunday’s event and helped put together a similar application and information session for tonight.

Yes, that Scott Jensen. The one you’d trust your child’s education with? The same Scott Jensen, and former assembly speaker, who was:

Jsonline: convicted of three felonies and a misdemeanor in 2006, but the felonies were overturned on appeal. Jensen, who was convicted of a misdemeanor for using state resources to campaign … prevents him from running for future office because of a state constitutional provision that bars people from appearing on ballots if they have been convicted of a violation of the public trust.

He wants to help parents send their kids to private voucher schools, the new refuge for scoundrels.
