Supreme Court ruling fuels New Mexico voucher debate
Supporters hail the 5-4 Supreme Court decision allowing public funding for private and religious schools as constitutional. They confront hurdles from a legislature that rejected vouchers, a governor opposed to the plan, and a potential constitutional barrier cited by the attorney general. Governor Gary Johnson, leaving office soon, pushes pilot programs and broader rollout while backers vow continued activism. Representative Dan Foley, sponsor of the voucher bill, says the constitutional hurdle argument may be gone.
