Senate Passes Neo-voucher/Tax Credit Scholarship Bill SB 61

The Senate passed on emergency final action the tax credit scholarship expansion bill we oppose (23-14). They refused to amend it to require all participating schools to be accredited or to allow other amendments that would have done more to ensure the bill served its purported purpose.

Please thank the following for voting against the bill: Senators Corson, Dietrich, Doll, Faust-Goudeau, Francisco, Hawk, Holland, Holscher, Longbine, McGinn, Pettey, Pittman, Sykes, Ware.

The following voted for the bill. Are they representing you? They should hear from constituents, too: Senators Alley, Baumgardner, Bowers, Claeys, Erickson, Fagg, Gossage, Hilderbrand, Kerschen, Kloos, Masterson, O’Shea, Olson, Peck, Petersen, Pyle, Steffen, Straub, Suellentrop, Thompson, Tyson, Warren, and Wilborn.
