Glenda Ritz: school voucher changes cost state $16M

According to a recent article in the Courier-Journal, school vouchers are costing the state money: $16 million dollars. This, from the GOP, that always say they want to save taxpayers money. And who was one of the biggest voucher supporters in the General Assembly? None other than Rhonda Rhoads, the retired school teacher that hates public education. Indiana has had one of the biggest voucher programs in the country, yet we rank low on most education statistics. Many other moves were made by the Republican controlled General Assembly, which Rhonda Rhoads was the chief cheerleader have been straight out of the playbook of right wing groups like the Koch Brothers and ALEC.

Let's worry more about our public schools, strengthen them, and improve them. You can ask any teacher out there in our state, and they will tell you that morale has never been lower due to this attack on public schools and their teachers. If you are interested in how you can make changes locally, vote Rhonda Rhoads out, and Heidi Sellers in as our State Representative. Heidi is a recently retired teacher that will fight for public schools and working families instead of doing the bidding of ALEC and the Koch Brothers.
