Wny are we funding private school tuition? So wrong. The intention was to ensure children w/ disabilities had options & opportunities. Instead, this is a private fund for those taking advantage of a loophole now so large it is $1 Billion/year? Paying taxes twice got me.

🚨 ESA private school vouchers are all cost and no accountability. Hear directly from Senator @DrEvaDiazLD22: “Protecting our students and the state’s financial future is as much a matter of revenue as it is an obligation to the taxpayers of Arizona. We know a financial…



Congrats! Tucson has plans to integrate housing for the disabled & aging with limited income @ Tucson House. Wrap around support services & a clinic near too. Curious what that would look like. Privacy should be valued for residents. @priasun arizonadailystar-az.newsmemory.com/?selDate=20230…

Arizona's voucher program should be a cautionary tale for the entire country: -Constant mismanagement -Huge opportunities for fraud and abuse -Out-of-control, totally uncapped spending that threatens to bankrupt the state What a disaster.

This story provides a good & concise summary of the ESA program. The Achilles heel: A lack of accountability "The ESA law provides for little accountability how the voucher money is spent or how the schools receiving the money perform."12news.com/article/news/e…

NEW: An important warning from Attorney General Kris Mayes: accepting a voucher means forfeiting your rights. Private schools and vendors can discriminate based on sexual orientation and religion and don't need to follow federal law on students with disabilities.

It’s important for Arizona families to be aware of the rights they give up when they leave the public school system with an education savings account. Info on rights forfeited and potential ESA vendor scams: azag.gov/press-release/…

"Trump wasn't among top honorees at commencement. Wasn't on dean’s list senior year, meaning he wasn't among top 56 students in graduating class of 366. All that is known for certain is that he received at least a 2.0 average, enabling him to graduate," per @washingtonpost

.@KariLake of her conversation with Trump tonight: "And he just said, 'Kari, I never thought this is what my future would look like, when I graduated first in my class at Wharton. I didn't think they'd be indicting me and trying to call me a criminal. But, but he's OK with it."

Thank you @GovernorHobbs

Vouchers are just private school coupons for Arizona's richest parents. ESAs are corrupt and littered with abuse and fraud. Thank you @GovernorHobbs

Today, we held the Ducey Administration accountable for illegally handing out a $50 million ESA grant. Instead, we're going to put that money to good use. In my administration, we are committed to ESA accountability, protecting taxpayer dollars, and truly investing in public…


Parents demand charges over son's death at underage drinking party in Clearwater County dl-online.com/news/minnesota… So sorry for this family’s loss and kudos for them being so diligent to hold adults responsible for supplying and/or hosting underage drinking. #just15


Thank you Democrat @AZAGMayes

All of these Saudi owned farms in AZ were negotiated, sold, & approved by the Republican Legislature who refused to listen about the environmental impact they would have. AZ still has Republican majorities in Congress.
