Below is an interesting and revealing link about the head of the Public Charter School Board, Tom Nida, who stood to gain financially with his connections to the Charter School Board and real estate acquisitions.

Below is a follow-up article to the above, about D.C.'s potential response to the financial aspects of the Tom Nida scandal.
