Indiana has a two-year state budget of $37 billion. Tennessee has a one year annual state budget of $38 million. Both states have roughly the same population. Tennessee covers 42k square miles, while Indiana covers 36k square miles. Two very similar states. So is Indiana better off spending roughly half what Tennessee spends?
Why is the State subsidizing private school for families making $145,000/year? Wouldn’t it make more sense to give bigger vouchers to low income families that are more likely to live in areas with bad public schools?
That’s what stood out to me. Most of you know that I am no champion of public schools, but this is beyond excessive. $96,000/year even sounds excessive.
Over the years, many GOP legislators have urged vouchers for richer families, including their own children. Initial proposals limiting vouchers to poor families were the ‘foot in the door’ which opens wider and wider with each budget bill. This promises to squeeze out openings for poorer students and preferences those already enrolled and paying their own way.

It reminds me of state supported gambling. That was a “foot in the door” in the 1980’s and now we have so much gambling, its ridiculous. The money give away to high earning Hoosiers for private schooling with little accountability reflects traditional, conservative, Republican values?
