Arizona Voters Face Voucher Lock-In

Arizona lawmakers pulled off a late-night political maneuver, passing a ballot referral that could lock in the state’s billion-dollar school voucher program forever — even as Democrats accuse Republicans of hiding their true intent behind a narrow military-family exception. After a failed compromise with the state’s largest teachers union, GOP leaders rushed the referral through in the final hours of session, effectively blocking any future reforms. Critics say it’s a sneaky, rushed tactic that silenced dissent and barred union members from public galleries — all to cement the status quo. Now voters will decide whether to enshrine the voucher system in the constitution, potentially ending any hope for meaningful change.
