Public school waste

EducationNews is all over a story coming out of Katy, a western suburb of Houston:

A technology vendor that has been paid over $13 million by the Katy Independent School District filed three years of State Franchise Tax Reports Tuesday of this week in an effort to restore its corporate privileges that were originally forfeited February 25, 2003, an official of Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts confirmed Thursday.

However, documents released Thursday by the Comptroller’s office appear to contradict the Texas school district’s earlier published version of the scope of Xpediant LLC’s tax problems with the State of Texas.

Massive rundown here.  Question: if this involved the Florida or Milwaukee school choice programs, would you ever hear the end of this story?  We didn’t think so either.
