Flordia tax-payers save $39 million from Corporate Tax Credit School Scholarships

According to an editorial in the Panama City News Herald:

"Giving students and their parents more opportunities to attend the schools of their choice is first and foremost a fundamental issue of freedom. But a new government study suggests that policy also has fiscal benefits."

Florida's legislature watch dog agency, the Office of Program Policy Analysis and Governmental Accountability put out a report that the state's Corporate Tax-Credit Program has saved Flordia tax payers $38.9 million dollars, which is considerable, particularly when state's budget's are tightening so significantly. It seems that if the research shows that this does indeed save tax-payers money, and almost 20,000 students are benefiting at the same time, why shouldn't students and tax payers in Illinois be able to benefit as well?
