Better to give AND receive — UPDATE

Lord’s
Ranch is a residential school for
troubled youths in Warm Springs. The website of a preacher
who works there says church attendance and similar religious sessions are
“encouraged.”

Surely church worship is
not required, because the Lord’s Ranch operates on millions in public tax
money — $8.5 million this year alone from the Arkansas Medicaid program.
Courts have ruled that publicly financed programs cannot use public money to
conduct religious exercises.

The man who runs the Lord’s
Ranch, Ted Suhl, has become a major political player, perhaps because the
state looked dimly on his operation at times before the Huckabee administration
came along. Now  “faith-based” organizations are riding high
(and so is Huck, in Suhl’s twin-engine Cessna jet). Suhl gives
contributions freely to politicians in his name, the name of the Lord’s Ranch
and the name of at least four real estate development companies, one based in
Florida.

We’ve totted up at least $100,000 in
donations by Suhl and connections since 2000. That includes $5,000 to Gov.
Huckabee (not counting his free jet rides). It includes $26,000 to the
Republican Party of Arkansas. It includes $6,500 to the amendment to ban gay
marriage.

 But here’s the most
interesting thing, and it may explain why some legislators say they run into a
stone wall every time they try to demand accountability from the Lord’s Ranch.

The Lord’s Ranch is getting $8.5
million in public money from Arkansas this year. This year’s spending was
budgeted at the legislative session of 2005. That meant elections of 2004 were
important to those expecting to have a hand out in 2005.

In that year, Suhl entities gave at
least $37,500, split equally between Ds and Rs, to legislative candidates. More
individual gifts went to Democrats, but Republicans got bigger amounts on
average.

We shall see how tough legislators
are on the ranch at the hearing next Wednesday.

One note: The Republicans, big pals
of Suhl as you can see, have beem talking about how liberal the
Democratic ticket is. If anybody would know a trustworthy conservative, you’d
think Bro. Suhl would. He’s given money this year to Mike Beebe and Dustin
McDaniel (and a heap to loser Tim Wooldridge over the years.)

UPDATE: Go to the jump for a list of
all partisan contributions in 2004 and 2006 (Suhl made a couple of
contributions to Wendell Griffen, a nonpartisan judicial candidate). Most won,
not surprising since most contributions came after the elections. Where
contributions appear in excess of the $1,000 limit it’s because a
candidate got multiple contributions from different Suhl entities and/or they
had primary and runoff elections.
