This is utter BS. We voted AGAINST school vouchers in a referendum here in AZ and our whackjob GQP legislature and former governor out here went ahead and just said nope, we want to send our spawn for religious indoctrination and you can pay for it. Yeah, it was supposed to cost $65M, but it's now going to cost $900M. Guess who is paying for that? The people who VOTED AGAINST IT!!! #gop #arizona #politics
@TucsonSentinel what's $835M between friends.
@TucsonSentinel if only there were an established system through which we could fund education publicly.
