The SC Department Of Revenue has responded to a FOIA request with the most recent fundraising update. (not so) Exceptional SC & #FireChadConnelly only raised only $89,234.53 in the month of May.
That is only $639,666.94 for the first FIVE MONTHS of 2020 … while our neighbors in GEORGIA with a similar income tax credit program raised $81.8 MILLION by January 7th – YES – in ONLY 7 DAYS!!!
HOW MUCH IS THAT PER CHILD? Think about it this way … with an estimated 2,500 kids in the program … Exceptional SC raised a whooping … $35.69 per child.
AND HOW MUCH IS THAT YEAR TO DATE? Only $256 per child and $4,569 per school on average. Are we starting to see the problem?!?!?!
EVEN WORSE …. THEY ARE ON TRACK TO RAISE $1.5 MILLION IN 2020!!! Yep, that is it … at this pace (not so) Exceptional SC and #FireChadConnelly will only raise $1.5 MILLION in 2020 … just 1/3rd of what was raised last year and we all know how bad that has been.
Again, are we starting to see the problem?!?!?!
Thanks … for nothing … Chad Connelly!!! #FollowTheMoney!!!
