The article said that 2 million out of their 17 million budget went to fund the campaign. That is above 11.76% of their total budget. How can anyone blow that much out of their budget. Bill McBride couldn't give them anything more than they already had. He could just help maintain the status quo. That's a lot of money to pay in order to stay the same way as one already happens to be. Someone was quoted as saying they contributed to the candidates who thought the same way as they did about education. Teachers unions have never been, and are not now about education. They are about teachers positions and jobs.

The Teachers union cheated, what they did was to mortgage their HQ in Tallahasee for $2 million. Then they used the proceeds for McBride.
Florida teachers contributions now pay off the mortgage ergo
no political contributions were taken from members dues.
There will be more and more of these types of arangements under Mcauliffe.
