ARIZONA: “(Voucher) parents bought diamond rings, luxury clothing, dog food, grills, mopeds with public education dollars….”
A handout for the wealthy. This has been @GovBillLee’s #1 priority. #LeesVoucherScam

LOUISIANA: “Half a billion dollars to send thousands of kids to private schools… voucher students fare worse on state tests than public school peers…”

Just now… #LeesVoucherScam signed into law. Hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars into private schools, largely for kids already in private school.
California’s @rephuffman.bsky.social says the ‘school choice’/vouchers/ privatization push is both a “grift” to grab taxpayer money and an effort to “fuse” Christianity with government. #LeesVoucherScam
The dark money lobbyists in the rotunda were very happy with #LeesVoucherScam passing today, after they flooded GOP primaries to get obedient new reps elected.

WATCH: Rep. @brotherjones_ points out Speaker Sexton’s COS makes $19000/month (!!) while trying to make the $2000 teacher bribe a $2000/year teacher RAISE — but Republicans vote not to even consider the amendment. #LeesVoucherScam
An understandably angry and emotional REP. @repjasonpowell , who reps the district ANTIOCH HIGH is in, offered an amendment to make schools safer👇🏽😳
Republicans predictably killed it — and Speaker Sexton threatened the gallery for reacting. #LeesVoucherScam

WATCH: @votebo calls it the “Voucher Bribery Scam Subsidy Act” — reminds everyone how “bribes and threats” were used last time (even according to Republicans). #LeesVoucherScam
