My buddy told me two days ago they do not have the votes. They will keep scheduling votes, but they don't have the votes. It was supposed to be up two days ago and they pulled it. |

Been hearing that Atoka is in the works of converting to a charter school. I wonder if McAdams knows something we don't know.

Just talked to my buddy. Bill is scheduled for today. Many amendments. They are trying to polish a turd. One amendment would delay implementation for several years. My buddy proposed an amendment to rename the bill Vouchers instead of ESAs or empowerment or whatever name the republicans are using today. He says this is all being pushed by Jolley because he wants to run for state treasurer.

I do know that if it isn't voted on today then it's done for the year. Hopefully it gets shot down.

What's the voucher bill do? takes money from public education and helps parents pay who want to send their kid to private school. basically taxpayers paying for them to go to private schools. |

What I just read said the district has to have at least 5,000 students and the area has to have 500,000 population. |
