House Prohibits School Vouchers In Budget Debate

cbs11tv.com - House Prohibits School Vouchers In Budget Debate: "Texas House members plunged into lengthy debate Thursday, bickering over how billions of taxpayer dollars should be divvied up on state services over the next two years.

The 2008-09 budget being debated amounts to about $6,400 for every Texan. Most of the money, much of which comes from sales taxes, is spent on education, but dollars also are spent on things like health care, prisons and courts."
