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).

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.

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.

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.

AZ Senate Democrats call for a full audit of the ESA voucher program. This comes after the AZ Auditor General released a report blasting the program, alleging lax financial accountability. ABC15 ran a story about the Auditor General's concerns yesterday: abc15.com/news/state/auditor… @abc15

NEW: Arizona's Auditor General find a 34% error rate in the Department of Education's ESA transaction review process.

It should take longer to approve a handout of thousands of taxpayer dollars than it does to microwave a burrito. A new Auditor General’s report further proved the ESA voucher scam isn’t built to protect your taxpayer dollars from waste, fraud, and abuse.

ICYMI. Arizona's billion-dollar school voucher program under fire from Auditor General who works for @GOP-controlled Legislature. Report finds major conflict of interest with ESA director and a program that is not checking for high-risk purchases. 12news.com/article/news/inve…

Every child, in every zip code, deserves a fair shot. That’s not a policy position—it’s an American value. But in AZ, and increasingly across the country, universal school voucher programs are threatening that promise for millions of families @SenMarkKelly azcentral.com/story/opinion/…

"In a single Arizona budget year, the Grand Canyon State is on track to spend over $1 billion on a school voucher program with little oversight—and at the same time has cut around 181,000 children off federal food assistance."

Teachers make a real impact in the lives of so many students. I'm grateful for my amazing teachers in Prescott public schools, my mom who was also a teacher, and all the amazing educators in our state. Thank you for all you've done for Arizona's kids! #TeacherAppreciationWeek

With two public school teachers as sisters, I see firsthand how much our educators do for Arizona’s kids.
I’m grateful to all the teachers who go above and beyond to ensure our students thrive.

"It looks like Arizona voters are going to get the last word on a $1.5 billion tax cut approved by Republican lawmakers and signed by Gov. Doug Ducey."
