[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where does the state get the money to fund these scholarships?[/quote]

Taxes?

Okay....so as a homeowner in Montgomery County, [b]now I'm paying for BOTH public schools AND contributing to a scholarship fund so that students[/b] can opt NOT to attend the public schools I'm paying for?[/quote]

You don't get to choose where your tax money is spent. Not directly. [/quote]

You already provide scholarship money for school, you live in a sanctuary city, remember?  That means illegal immigrant children receive a scholarship education via your tax dollars and I am sure those little darlings will be the first to benefit with private school scholarships.[b]  See what you voted for all these years. [/b] LOL[/quote]

Do you mean voting for Hogan?  I thought Republicans don't normally like giving handouts.  This seems like a decent handout from Hogan.

Plus, this would be for the whole state, not just MoCo.  And, most of the kids getting the scholarship are white (not Latino, as you imply by your comment).  [/quote]

You don't know that most of there students would be white.  Hogan has cut spending in programs so I am sure he will find the money for this program rather than increasing taxes.  The question is why do we want to do this?  Just another social handout, why aren't we focusing those funds on making the public schools work for these children?  Now we want to put them in a situation where their self esteem may be attacked for not being able to keep up with the all the trappings that typically come with a private school environment.

I seriously doubt these scholarships would be used by kids trying to get into a $40,000 school. [/quote]
