Wal-Mart and the Walton Family Foundation, named
for the family that created the company, have been the largest donors,
contributing nearly $800,000 combined to nonprofits on behalf of Johnson and
other council members since 2009, according to disclosure documents filed with
the city clerk's office.
Those payments include $505,000 since last year
to Johnson's education
reform initiatives and other groups backed by the mayor. Johnson
received another $210,000 from Wal-Mart between 2009 and 2011 – most of which
was not reported by the mayor until December 2012. The Walmart Foundation also
gave $50,000 last year to a neighborhood nonprofit organization founded by
Schenirer, documents show.
