Tennessee legislature puts hundreds of millions toward private-school vouchers
In one of the most hotly-contested questions in modern Tennessee political history, the legislature narrowly approved a $430 million private-school voucher program that critics say will grow quickly to $1 billion and endanger the state’s budget.
The bill passed with 54 yays and 44 nays with one minor amendment to the bill. It now heads to the Senate floor for a vote.
Bills propose offering yearly vouchers to families statewide, but amendments have the details changing by the hour.
