Santorum bills his state for $100,000 to pay for his kid's education

They are enrolled in a cyber charter school, for goodness' sake.
Penn Hills School District records show bills paid with local taxpayers' money for U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum's children to attend a cyber charter school total more than $100,000.
Since the 2001-2002 school year, at least three Santorum children have been attending a cyber charter school.

This year, the school district has to pay $38,000 for Elizabeth, 13, Richard, 11, Daniel, 9, Sarah, 6, and Peter Santorum, 5, to attend Western Pennsylvania Cyber Charter School, which is based in Beaver County.
And for all those who might want to argue that he pays Pennsylvania tax money because of his home, his tax bill adds up to a measly $2000. Someone's making out like a bandit, eh?

Naturally, Santorum is an avid supporter of NCLB.
