From today's St. Pete Times, we learned that John Kirtley donated $200K to the Hillsborough County Schools. Kirtley is connected to the DeVos family and the Koch brothers.

I also tried to get a link to the Division of Elections to show Kirtley's campaign donations and couldn't make it work. He and his wife and daughters donated $35,500 to state candidates last cycle, including many Democrats who voted for vouchers. I think they're also behind SJR 1218, which will repeal the current prohibition of state funding for religious institutions.
