NH Education Savings Accounts Included in State Budget to Have Imponderable Impact
June 29, 2021
The ultra-conservative wing of the GOP scored several victories in the budget they adopted along partisan lines, including the funding of a voucher program for children in families whose total earnings are under $78,500. They passed this despite their inability to project how much it will cost the state, how it will be put into place, what regulations– if any– will apply to the schools who accept the money, and what the impact will be in the future. Evidently this kind of planning is sufficient if free market principles are championed. And should the free market fail investors have no need to worry in NH. The legislature will bail them out!
