⚡️ JUST NOW — Speaker Speaker Cameron Sexton on the death of Gov. Bill Lee’s voucher scam for the year: “We’ve got a long time to go” and “of course” it will be back next year.
Tough loss for voucher supporters, like Gino Bulso’s first cousins.

WATCH: “Did you see Gov. Bill Lee confirm the voucher scam is dead? Is this an embarrassment for him? Did Scott Cepicky’s audio help kill it?”
Voucher bill sponsor & Ed committee chair Representative Mark White tells us vouchers will be back next year. Unclear what will be done differently.
Lessons of Gov. Bill Lee’s voucher scam dying:
-Passing resolutions works.
-Showing up works.
-Contacting your reps works.
Tennesseans care about our public schools, no matter what the voucher vultures say.
Let's recap...
🚘Gov. Bill Lee and TNGOP pushed Volkswagen workers in Chattanooga to NOT unionize. Workers voted 73% IN FAVOR OF THE UNION
📚 Gov. Bill Lee and TNGOP
Made 'school choice' their top priority. 45+ school systems wrote resolutions AGAINST the program. It didn't pass.
Both Murfreesboro City Schools and RC Schools passed resolutions against the voucher scam. Parents and teachers spoke up and showed up.
Keeping Hollerin guys we can make a better Tennessee.
Between his voucher scam dying and the UAW win for workers in Chattanooga, this has been a very rough week for Gov. Bill Lee and his privatization/exploitation agenda.
Please keep him in your thoughts in this difficult time.
