Opinion from @ejmontini: Republican lawmakers are going to take your money and let the wealthy use it to keep their children in private schools, and they're doing this in a way that is blatantly in … your … face.

Usually, politicians try to disguise, camouflage or outright conceal a scheme to make middle-class taxpayers hand over their hard-earned money to the filthy rich.

Not this time.

This time, the Republicans who control the Arizona Legislature don’t seem give a damn.

They’re going to take your money and let the wealthy use it to keep their kids in private schools, and they’re doing it in a way that is blatantly in … your … face.

Gotta give ‘em credit for chutzpah, but not decency. Or morality.

Four years ago Arizona voters by an overwhelming margin rejected a Republican plan to allow all of Arizona’s 1 million-plus public school students to get vouchers to attend private and parochial schools.

The governor has it as her #1 goal if she wins reelection. She campaigned in the primary against the GOPers who opposed it.
