Why don't you read a little more before posting such crap. Does this sound a like a "huge supporter of RW politicians"?

But they both placed a strong emphasis on public schools. Becky Bramlage was elected seven years ago and told Walker she expected the small district to be every bit as good as the Shawnee Mission School District where she was educated.
You can imagine. Shawnee Mission and Junction City are worlds apart, basically. But when she came here she was like, Our schools are going to be as good as anybodys because I cant allow the quality of education to be dictated by zip codes, Walker said. They placed investments in this school district to make sure it was always successful.
It was well-known around town that the couple provided scholarships to children who couldnt otherwise afford to attend a university.
Ive been here 10 years and I could say easily they gave out hundreds of thousands of dollars in scholarships, Walker said.
