Democrat Beto O’Rourke has nothing good to say about Greg Abbott, but acknowledges the Republican governor used political power effectively to pass “school choice.” Abbott is poised to sign legislation that creates a voucher-style program for families to use public money to attend private schools.

Texas parents will be able to access thousands of dollars in state funds to pay for private education or homeschooling for their kids.

Texas Senators, guided by Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, voted to approve the Texas House-changed school voucher bill, teeing it up for what will likely be Gov. Greg Abbott's immediate signing of his number one legislative priority.
