Arizona’s ESA voucher program spends $1 BILLION in YOUR taxpayer dollars per year — no accountability or transparency. This November, it's time we change that.

BIGGER Republicans oh-for-2 on ballot referrals targeting teachers union (struck down Tuesday) & initiative to curb vouchers (tossed today).
NEW: Judge strikes HCR2048 from ballot. The legislative referral requires a court to invalidate the entirety of any ballot measure (i.e. the Protect Education Act) that confiscates scholarship funds from military families.

A trial court strikes down the Republican Trojan Horse attempt to kill the Protect Education Act citizen initiative to rein in ESA waste, fraud and abuse. HCR2048 hid its poison pill behind “protection” for military families.

BREAKING: Trial court kicks off HCR 2048 from the ballot. The Republican-led HCR 2048 used military families as a political pawn in order to kill the Protect Education Act (ESA voucher reform). Republicans could appeal.

Another unconstitutional ballot measure from your AZ Republican Legislators. Using military families as a cover to strip votes from Arizonans is pretty damn low. @AZHouseDems

Is AZ House Speaker @SteveMontenegro pushing for reform for the ESA program because his sister works for AFC (American Federation for Children) which is/was pushing for reforms via ballot measure?

Public school supporters submit more than 420,000 voter signatures from voters who want to rein in aspects of Arizona's universal school voucher program. Organizers needed at least 256,000 signatures; reviews by election officials will determine if they met the goal

This November, hard-working Arizona voters will remember how Republican politicians fought to keep voucher dollars flowing to the state’s richest families and paying for diamond rings and lingerie.

AZ taxpayers spent $57,732 on Millennium Falcon Lego sets for 68 ESA households. $849 each. Hitting "add to cart" on a big splurge must be easier when you are spending money that comes with no strings attached. 🤷‍♀️👇
Replying to @Garrett_Archer
Sixty-eight separate Lego Millennium Falcon transactions.

Too bad the result is across-the-board education cuts for FY2027: educationforwardarizona.org/… This is why we need the Protect Education ballot initiative to get on the ballot and pass in November to curb this wasteful spending.

In 2006, Big Tobacco ran a copycat initiative to confuse voters.  It didn't work.  Now a DeVos-linked group is trying it with school vouchers. arizonaagenda.com/p/the-vouc…
