Private-school voucher bill delayed amid uproar
Arizona House lawmakers for the third time Tuesday halted debate of a controversial plan to expand a program that allows families to put tax money towards private-school tuition.
The delay appears to signal that the bill has stalled amid mounting criticism that expanding the Empowerment Scholarship Account program would harm public schools. The decision to retain the bill Tuesday comes one day after the bill sponsor pulled the bill off the House floor calendar.
