Arizona voucher debate fuels education reform standoff
Symington defends increased school funding while a voucher plan called parent choice grants draws criticism from the AEA and GOP leaders. Lisa Graham, backing the program, says it would start with 2000 pupils and grow to 8000 by 1997-98, funding private schools with 3 million dollars. Critics argue it diverts funds from inflation-adjusted public schooling, and success hinges on a united education lobby amid a looming special session.

Jackson settlement weakens criminal probe into sex case
The out-of-court civil settlement involving Michael Jackson strengthens the defense narrative of innocence while potentially hampering the Los Angeles and Santa Barbara criminal investigation. Attorneys described the deal as a private resolution that could bar victims from testifying, and Jackson maintained his innocence as his career faced disruption from the allegations. The civil suit, filed in September, accuses Jackson of sexual battery and related counts in a case involving a boy, with five former security guards also pursuing suits. Jackson’s net worth is cited as over 150 million by Forbes, and a drug rehab stint followed his retreat from a world tour amid the controversy.
