Straight Talk from Steve

Measure 435

One of the measures that will appear on the November 5 ballot is a referendum to repeal LB1402, otherwise known as Nebraska’s school choice bill. A vote to repeal on Measure 435 would effectively end the school choice program started by LB1402. Because all families must pay property taxes to their local public school district, I believe parents should be given the opportunity to choose where to send their children to school. Therefore, I support voting to retain Measure 435.

The education lobby has been hammering the airwaves and the Internet with commercials that are designed to garner support to repeal the new school choice law in Nebraska, but these advertisements are very misleading.
