"Texas House Rejects Governor Abbott's School Voucher Proposal, Raising Political Consequences for Opposing Lawmakers"

Texas Governor Greg Abbott's proposal for school vouchers, which would have provided taxpayer subsidies for some students to attend private schools, was rejected by lawmakers at the Texas State Capitol. The measure was part of a larger bill that aimed to increase funding for public schools and teacher pay raises. Opponents argued that the measure would only benefit a few students and cost billions of dollars. The fate of the rest of the bill, including additional funding for teachers, remains uncertain.
