Brennan’s Bonanza 'Gold'

ProgressOhio PAC released a new advertisement today entitled “Gold” which explores how charter school magnate David Brennan uses tax dollars collected from his schools to fund John Kasich, Mary Taylor, and Josh Mandel. This is the third video unveiled by ProgressOhio PAC in the “Brennan’s Bonanza” series.

Interestingly enough, the old White Hat money machine keeps ticking, as the Columbus Dispatch reported this week that, “Among the other individuals who gave at or near the maximum amount on Kasich’s 48-hour report were Ann Brennan, the wife of David Brennan of Akron, Ohio's biggest charter-school operator.”

The final commercial highlights the $2 million worth of donations that Brennan has made to GOP candidates within the past five years. As owner of the White Hat Management Group, a for-profit charter school organization, newspapers have reported that Brennan’ holdings net over $6 million in profit annually.
