Idaho Gave Families $50M to Spend on Private Education. Then It Ended a $30M Program Used by Public School Families. A Republican lawmaker said ending an Idaho program that helped public school students buy laptops and other materials wasn’t linked to the creation of a private school tax credit. The state’s most pro...

This actually happened: A few weeks after passing a $50 million school-voucher bill for Idaho's private-school families, Idaho lawmakers slashed $30 million in support for public-school families.

Remember: 94% of Idaho students attend public schools.

Most emails to Idaho Legislature opposed private school tax credit. The margin was large “Instead of using public funds to subsidize private schools, I urge the Legislature to invest in strengthening our public education system.”

Shocking but not surprising: A public records request has revealed that over 1,000 Idahoans emailed the House Rev & Tax committee about HB 93--Wendy Horman's school-voucher bill.

94% of the emails opposed the bill while just 6% were in favor.

An underappreciated danger in school voucher schemes is families may take on new debt—to private schools or other vendors—beyond what vouchers cover.

HS degree grantors and for-profit microschools can hike tuition and all but force families to take out top-off loans to complete.

Republicans May Find It Harder to Cut Medicaid Than They Think The program’s surprising superpower? It’s popular.

"Some 80 million people now get health care from Medicaid, including many working-class voters in the president’s base."

Speaker: Efforts to restrict ballot initiatives could 'squash' grass-roots democracy Some lawmakers have sought to make it more difficult to put initiatives on the ballot, but would that put a damper on grass-roots democracy?

“Idaho’s grass-roots democracy in the form of citizen-led initiatives could be ‘squashed’ if certain legislators have their way, the co-founder of a political group warned...”

Testimony AGAINST Medicaid Expansion repeal outnumbered testimony in favor by a margin of 25 to 1. The committee still approved the repeal bill 8-7.

The swing vote was cast by Rep. Tanya Burgoyne, whose Pocatello district approved Medicaid Expansion with 64% of the vote. Who does she represent?

This is the overflow room for today’s hearing on Medicaid Expansion repeal (House Bill 138). The main room is jam-packed. Idahoans want their healthcare protected, not taken away.

This is pure cynicism and cruelty from Representative Redman. He's selling his bill as a "reform" of Medicaid Expansion when he knows the goal is to eliminate the program completely, ripping away healthcare from 90,000 Idahoans. #idpol
