Boom! Texas House Slams the Door on Private School Vouchers
Sen. Dan Patrick, along with Lt. Gov Dewhurst and Gov. Rick Perry have been the leadingvoices this legislative session behind the voucher agenda. Yesterday, theirs was a decisive, brilliant and courageous knockdown spearheaded through an amendment to SB1 by Representative Abel Herrero (D-Robstown). So proud of Representative Herrero for valiantly drawing the line in the sand between those that support public education and those that do not—which is how he argued on the House floor what support for vouchers represented.
