Republicans who voted against HB 1663 cited cost and limited state involvement as the main issues. The program would require ongoing state matching funds (estimated at roughly $10–13 per child per year, or more than $10 million annually at full scale) to mail books to hundreds of thousands of children, even though local Imagination Library affiliates already operate in many counties through private and philanthropic support.

NOW I UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE STOP GOING TO THE DOCTOR…
Got the bill from my daughter's checkup this morning. Fifteen minutes, no tests, no prescription. $340.
I pay $612 a month in premiums. That's $7,344 a year before a single visit.
Someone explain why I pay for insurance ALL YEAR and then pay again every time I actually use it?
WHERE IS THAT $7,344 GOING? I'll shut up and listen.
@OneJerseySchorr They are scared of the public... They could have easily changed to the school that is 500 feet from that building. Which considering how much of Jackson is pissed off they might need that space.
@libsoftiktok@fortworthpd Nah. No need to fire. Progressive discipline is normally how it's done. But they should definitely be watched and recorded all the time.
