Political Quotes

“as we try to help young people like Joshua, last week I had an opportunity to go through a public charter school in my hometown and explain to some of the parents and some of the teachers and the principal exactly what we were looking at with the tax credit proposal. There was a tremendous amount of enthusiasm because they recognize that not only would it help Joshua in this case, but it would also help the students at that school, a public charter school, to get some additional resources for some things that they felt that they desperately needed; and it would not require them to go to the taxpayers and raise the tax. It allows them to go directly to the people who have a vested interest in that school. Whether it is a public charter school, whether it is a traditional public school, or whether it is the kind of school that Joshua goes to, these tax credits, number one, will provide for a significant infusion of new money into our local schools for all of our kids and will get everybody vested in improving education for every one of our kids.”
