Normally, I have concerns about campaign contributions where the contributor stands to gain financially from the decisions of the person they're contributing to. In this case the people mentioned are already filthy rich and they support charters for non-financial motivations, so I don't see what's wrong with them backing an issue they believe in.

"In May of that year (2003), Oakland Mayor Jerry Brown joked to a meeting at the Los Angeles Bar Association that the state takeover of Oakland Unified was a “win-win for everybody.” “ We spent $100 million we didn’t have,” Brown said, “and now we’re getting a fresh $100 million to start all over again and we get to throw the superintendent out and get a new one, called the state administrator. And we don’t have to have a school board."
