Jeb Bush's Administration Steered Florida Pension Money to George W. Bush’s Fundraisers
Four years before the financial collapse, Goldman Sachs executive George Herbert Walker IV had much to be thankful for. "I've been fortunate to be a small part of teams leading U.S. restructurings, European privatizations, global pension management and now hedge fund and private equity investing,” he said in the annual report of a banking colossus that would soon be known as the “great vampire squid” of Wall Street.
“The world,” said Walker, “just keeps getting more interesting."
As the head of Goldman Sachs’ alternative investment unit, Walker’s ebullience was understandable. At the same time he was raising $100,000 for his cousin George W. Bush’s successful presidential re-election effort, the administration of another cousin, Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, returned the family favor, delivering $150 million of Florida pension money to an alternative investment fund run by Walker’s firm. Like other executives whose companies received Florida pension money, Walker is now renewing the cycle, reportedly attending in February a high-dollar fundraiser for Jeb Bush’s political committee.
Walker is not alone: He is one of 19 top fundraisers for George W. Bush -- known as “Pioneers” and “Rangers” -- whose financial firms received state business from Jeb Bush’s administration in Tallahassee. In all, an International Business Times’ review of government documents shows Jeb Bush oversaw Florida directing at least $1.7 billion of state workers’ retirement money to the financial firms of his elder brother’s major donors.
As Jeb Bush oversaw the State Board of Administration (SBA) that runs Florida’s massive public pension system, the state shifted billions of dollars into higher-risk, higher-fee alternative investments, benefiting the same sector of the investment industry he would work in upon leaving office. Many of those state deals delivered returns that fell short of projections. Roughly 20 percent of that system’s 53 private investment deals during Bush’s governorship went to companies that employed his brother’s Pioneers. Those financial firms, in turn, delivered more than $5 million of campaign cash to George W. Bush, the Republican National Committee and Jeb Bush’s Republican Party of Florida.

With recent Supreme Court decisions effectively lifting campaign contribution limits, Jeb Bush’s relationship with his brother’s top fundraisers could pay even bigger dividends for the GOP candidate in 2016. Republican strategists and donors say the Pioneers give the former Florida governor a built-in presidential fundraising base.
Of course, the Bushes are about power and money. That's why they are Republicans. The Clinton's and the Dems are motivated by higher ideals.
you post should have a warning above it.
Reading the following my cause convulsions and explosion of liquid through mouth and nose.
The higher ideal must be more centralized power and theft of freedom by fewer and fewer cronies.

More than 2 million of Hilary Clinton's 3.6 million Twitter followers are not real people. But in the grand tradition of Democratic politics, that won't stop them from voting for her...
More than 2 MILLION of Hillary Clinton's Twitter followers are fake or never tweet – and she's already under fire for 'buying' fake Facebook fans
More than 2 MILLION of Hillary Clinton's Twitter followers are fake or never tweet – and she's already under fire for 'buying' fake Facebook fans
- Two different online audit tools say no more than 44 per cent of Hillary's 3.6 million Twitter fans are real people who participate in the platform
- The newly minted presidential candidate is fending off accusations that her Facebook page is full of fake 'likes'
- Her Facebook fan base includes more people from Baghdad, Iraq than any US city
- When she was secretary of state, her agency paid $630,000 to bulk up its Facebook likes, but pledged to stop after she left
Oh yeah? What has Bill Clinton been doing and what has Georgy been doing? Any idea at all? Do they talk about it on the GOP propaganda network? Ie Fox News?
Are you off your meds again?
Like I thought, you don't have a clue what they are doing. Your ignorance is immense.
Hint: Georgy is doing watercolors and Bill is doing philanthropic work.
