The Urged Join Bill
Gov urged to join federal K‑12 scholarship tax credit
Urging Governor Ferguson to establish a framework with the legislature to opt Washington state into the federal tax-credit scholarship program for K-12 educational expenses.
Mixed: some good, some bad ·
If passed, the state would let families claim a federal tax credit for K‑12 school costs, lowering the money they owe the government.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Parents could get money back on their taxes, making private school cheaper, while other taxpayers might see less state revenue for public schools. The bill is still early, so people can speak up now.
