Educational Freedom Advances in South‐East
Having so recently blogged about the expansion of Florida’s k‐12 scholarship tax credit program, I’m delighted to be able to add that Georgia governor Sonny Perdue yesterday signed a similar program into law in his own state. Meanwhile, in Louisiana, a modest New Orleans voucher program was passed out of the House yesterday by a nearly 3 to 2 majority (a corresponding bill has already passed out of Senate committee and awaits a floor vote).
While none of these programs is yet big enough to create significant market forces, the growth of the Florida program and the bi‐partisan support that it and the New Orleans program are enjoying are promising signs.
