That's not my question. Mr. Chairman!
I think parents should be the ones making decisions for their kids. I'm saying a family making over $500,000 a year shouldn't get my taxpayer dollars to make that decision. I'm not trying to prevent them from making a decision.
Is anyone on this dais proposing that we make it illegal to go to a private school? I'm not proposing that. What we're talking about is are we sending our limited, precious taxpayer dollars to the wealthiest families
in the state who are already sending their kids to private school.
And if you say that's not the purpose, then put it in your bill!
75% of the prioritization levels are families earning $160,000 or less.
No, no, no. That's not my question. That's not my question. Mr. Chairman! What we're talking about is are we sending our limited, precious taxpayer dollars to the wealthiest families in the state
do you think that our taxpayer funds should go to a family making over $500,000 a year who's already sending their kid to private school?
I think parents deserve the right to make that—
No, no, no. That's not my question. That's not my question. Mr. Chairman! No, no, no. That's not my question. That's not my question. Mr. Chairman!
you and I have worked closely together. You're my friend! I know your heart is for kids! I really want an answer to this question.
Do you think our taxpayer dollars should go to a family making over $500,000 a year who are already sending their kids to private school because that's the question?
I think parents deserve the right to make that—
No, no, no. That's not my question. That's not my question. Mr. Chairman! No, no, no. That's not my question. That's not my question. Mr. Chairman!
your bill allows for literally millionaires to take money that could go to public schools to subsidize their private school tuition! Are you okay with that? Or should we work on that part of the bill?
I think parents deservte that right.
No, no, no!! That's not my question. That's not my question. Mr. Chairman! No, no, no. That's not my question. That's not my question. Mr. Chairman! That's not my question. Mr. Chairman!
