Costs grow for groups in Arizona school voucher battle

PHOENIX - It's shaping up to be an expensive race to convince voters what sort of reforms they want to the state's voucher program - if any.

Protect Education Now, a plan crafted by the Arizona Education Association and Save Our Schools Arizona, reports that it has so far collected $4.6 million in its bid to put its plan on the November ballot. And virtually all of that has come from the Arizona Education Association.

Expenses to date total $2.7 million for "professional services,'' much of that presumably to get the necessary 255,949 valid signatures by July 2 to qualify for ballot status.
