The voucher subsidy lawsuit II
['Rod Gramer', 'Jim Jones']
Idaho Education News
Once again Rep. Wendy Horman, the chief proponent for voucher subsidies for private schools, has not spent enough time reading the Idaho Constitution.
Responding to a lawsuit against House Bill 93, which provides $50 million in voucher subsidies to private schools, Horman told the media that she is confident the Idaho Supreme Court will rule against the plaintiffs.
Further, she said that if the voucher subsidy is unconstitutional, so is the popular Idaho Launch program.
Instead, the plaintiff’s lawsuit is based on Article 9, Section 1 of the Idaho Constitution.
Let’s make it clear – the Idaho Constitution does not give local property taxpayers the burden of establishing and funding their public schools.
