Billionaires Protect Vouchers

Wealthy donors and affiliated PACs actively target state lawmakers who try to restrain voucher or education‑savings programs, using campaign spending and local organizing to maintain program growth and blunt fiscal oversight. The result is policy lock‑in at the state level that can outlast local dissent and threaten budget stability. — This matters because it reframes vouchers not merely as an ideological policy choice but as a field where concentrated private money enforces policy expansion and limits democratic control over public education spending.
