SENATE BILL: Home and Private Schooling Tax Credit Act (Vetoed, Sustained)

[LastVoter]

Hell no.

There's nothing preventing the regions from doing anything under this bill.  All this bill does is expand the options available to parents to educate their children, while purely saving the regions and the taxpayer at large money (as they currently spend between $6,356 and $18,126 per public school pupil).  The beauty of this legislation is that it improves the quality of the services available by increasing choice, while simultaneously reducing the cost of those services, and without forcing anyone or any region to do anything.

Accualy is fauxnews.

This is enough for the Senate not to override the veto, correct?

[LastVoter]

I did think long and hard about this one, but came to the final conclusion of a) it might be the role of the Government to provide parents with options in education, but not to pay for an option to undermine the public system b) the Bill refers to 'private institutions' as receiving no government funding... but says nothing about accreditation or the role if regional governments.

I would see this Bill as both overreach and undermining our public system.

Thank you Mr. President.
