PHOENIX - A school voucher reform plan being pitched to voters would impose new tasks on the state's Empowerment Scholarship Account program to curb costs and provide accountability.
But it doesn't provide any money to do so - and its critics say that could violate a constitutional requirement that new spending must identify a funding source.
The promoters of Fortify AZ say there's no need to add a new pot of money to make their proposals work. That's because the changes would save the state money, not cost more, according to spokesman Barrett Marson.
