The mailer says it is "By authority: Committee for the Public Schools PAC."
The Parents' Coalition has pulled the Campaign Finance report for this brand new political action committee and is making it public here so that voters can see who is actually funding this mailing supporting the current Board of Education members re-election campaigns.
It turns out that County Executive Ike Leggett's campaign account contributed $3,000 to this new Committee for the Public Schools PAC.
However, County Executive Ike Leggett is not listed on the mailer as a supporter of these candidates.
As of October 19th, the contributors to the Committee for the Public Schools PAC included:
MCEA (teachers' union) $4,000
BOE member Judy Docca's campaign $7,000
BOE member Mike Durso's campaign $7,000
BOE member Patricia O'Neill's campaign $10,000
Senator Nancy King's campaign $1,500
County Executive Ike Leggett's campaign $3,000
