Thursday, December 19, 2024 - GA's 'bait & switch' voucher scheme & another call for a party reboot
from The Ron Show · host Ron Roberts
Friend of the show Jay Bookman penned a piece chonicling how unpopular taxpayer funded private school vouchers are with conservatives and liberals - red and blue states. He also deftly explained what's happening in Georgia as a program set to aid maybe 6% of the state's student population attend a private school - with 1% of its education budget - suddenly appears to be available to nearly 20% of the state's students - at a much higher taxpayer cost - due to an interpretation by an unelected board tasked with managing the voucher program. Also, the disparate storytelling from Fox-owned WAGA-TV and Cox Media's WSB-TV. My goodness. Leigh McGowan, aka "Politics Girl" called for a Democratic Party "reboot" in one of her latest social media "rants" (her word; not mine) and I'm in near-total agreement with everything she said. Also, is Senator Chris Murphy prepping for a Presidential run? Sure seems like it. He ripped Georgia Rep. Barry Loudermilk's interim January 6th report recommending a criminal investigation into former Rep. Liz Cheney and has honed his anti-Trump/Musk messaging effectively, too. Just putting a pin in this for 2028.
