Michigan Legislature OKs school accounts destined for veto
Michigan lawmakers advanced veto-destined bills to let K 12 students use private school scholarship accounts funded by donors with tax credits. Whitmer calls the plan unconstitutional, arguing it drains public schools while supporters say it expands choices. Eligible families under income limits could access up to 7 830 dollars this year, with public school students receiving smaller amounts or none.
