Where do legislators go when when their time in the lege is done? Many places, but they're almost always taking public money.

When Bob Burns was done in the lege, he moved to the Arizona Corporation Commission (where, to be fair, he was considered to be one of the least bad Rs on the ACC).  Now, he's on the board of a charter school.

Which came to my attention as a result of a story at Arizona's Family, written by Amy Cutler -

What is “1776 curriculum?” We stopped by a Peoria school teaching it to find out

The 1776 curriculum got renewed attention this week when Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake said she supported it. So what is it exactly? What does it involve? Arizona’s Family learned a school in Peoria uses it.

It’s called Candeo Peoria. The public charter school says its “mission is to grow wisdom and virtue for a life well lived.” A part of their liberal arts education includes the 1776 curriculum.

Actually, according to the ACC, he's been part of the organization since 2012.

From the ACC -














In the 2018-19 school year, they took over $4.1 million from the state.

Guess that it's just RW indoctrination for profit.

Anyway, Burns like to keep his hand in R politics, donating to both Kimberly Yee (before she dropped out of the race for the R nomination for governor) AND Kari Lake (after that) -










That's a Sedona address, so how do I know that's him?

He, along with his wife, owns it.
