Vouchers blocked as governor vows Supreme Court fight
Gov. Tommy Thompson pledged to carry the fight for religious school tuition vouchers to the U S Supreme Court after Circuit Judge Paul Higginbotham refused to lift a court order blocking the program. The judge allowed a tenfold expansion of a companion nonreligious private school program, boosting participation from 1 500 to 15 000 while keeping the main voucher injunction in place. The ACLU praised the decision, while the case remains pending before the judge.
