Tennessee Gov. Lee pushes for school voucher expansion, removal of income cap
Fox News
Republican Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee on Tuesday endorsed a plan to expand a three-county school voucher initiative and remove income limits for enrollment.
In 2019, lawmakers agreed in a tight vote to enact the original program after receiving assurances that it would only apply to Davidson and Shelby counties, both Democratic strongholds in Tennessee. Nashville, Memphis and civil rights leaders sued to stop the program, which was tied up in the courts and only implemented starting in the summer of 2022 after the Tennessee Supreme Court cleared a key legal obstacle.
