Was Luna Swayed By Donations?

Apparently, Idaho Statesman political sleuth extraordinaire Dan Popkey is preparing an article that suggests Superintendent of Schools Tom Luna may have been influenced by political contributions in trying to "reform" Idaho education. Randy Stapilus offered a follow-the-money scenario that might provide a background on the skewp by Popkey. Luna added some credence to a possible story by telling the Club At Boise earlier today that "political donations didn't sway him to propose "Students Come First" legislation to overhaul Idaho schools.
