Private school tax credit clears first Illinois House hurdle
Illinois lawmakers narrowly approved a private school tax credit bill urged by Rep. Kevin McCarthy. If the Senate passes, Gov. Ryan would sign. The plan offers up to 500 dollars per family for private school tuition with a 250 dollar baseline, funded by expected 70 million dollars in annual lost revenue, drawing both strong support and opposition over church state questions and equity in school funding.
