TAX DOLLARS

2 Arizona education groups push measure to restrict school voucher access

PHOENIX - Two education groups are asking voters to do what the Republican-controlled legislature has been so far unwilling to do: put some restraints on vouchers.

The initiative proposed by the Arizona Education Association and Save Our Schools Arizona would put into law that families making more than $150,000 a year - adjusted annually for inflation - are ineligible for what are formally known as Empowerment Scholarship Accounts.

These are vouchers of taxpayer dollars that parents can use to send their children to private or parochial schools, or to home school them and hire tutors.
