Now that @GovBillLee has decided to place a higher transportation cost burden on the shoulders of TN workers traveling on I24, I’d like to remind you that Lee & Republicans literally just changed words in the TCA last yr to trick folks and sell their privatized toll lane plan.
What’s sad is that @GovBillLee could actually change every child’s life regardless of zip code or income by funding and fully supporting our public schools, instead of decimating them. But no donors or special interests would profit off of that plan, so….. voucher scam.
💰 WATCH: “Vouchers = coupons for wealthy families to save on private school bills.”
TX Rep. @jamestalarico points out voucher scams mostly help kids already in private schools — and now @GovBillLee wants them in every TN county. #LeesVoucherScam
The question we should all be asking ourselves about @GovBillLee & TN GOP’s education privatization scam is “what’s in it for them?” (Hint: it’s green and rhymes with ‘honey’). The goal certainly isn’t improving educational outcomes for children. https://t.co/CaZ4FsNAaO
Take note! It’s no coincidence that @GovBillLee has made it clear that his No. 1 legislative agenda item in 2024 is expanding his voucher scam statewide. Of course, his folks in TN House GOP are all in. 💰💰💰 (Source: @NC5) https://t.co/CaZ4FsNAaO
I want to leave Matthew Perry’s own words here as the way we remember him. There will never be another like him- he lit up so many hearts in so many ways. Godspeed to Paradise!
Just a reminder that every top-ranking GOP leader in state govt, incl @GovBillLee, advocated for declining federal education 💵 this week. This is the equivalent of lighting over $1.8 BILLION of TN taxpayers’ hard-earned money on fire. #FiscalResponsibility, my a$$. #VoteBlue
WATCH: “I want to speak particularly to the Covenant parents…”
After a chaotic #TNSpecialSession ended in tears and physical altercations with nothing accomplished @GovBillLee tried to sell it as a success, but grieving parents he invoked struck a much different tone.
US: “Have any of you met with Andy Ogles?”
COVENANT PARENTS: “No.”
Rep. @AndyOgles claims he met with Covenant families, but we haven’t found anyone to support that claim. Our DM’s remain open.
Pinocchiogles is a known liar, so color us skeptical.
🗣️🔥WATCH: “SHAME! SHAME! SHAME!”
A smirking #KremlinCameron Speaker @CSexton25 just got stuck waiting for an elevator as protestors, moms, covenant parents gave him a big piece of their grieving minds — as he and his party refuse to address the issue of gun safety reform. #TNSpecialSession
Students past due on lunch charges to receive ‘alternate meal’ in Humphreys Co. https://t.co/alyBA8XRWJ - Really? Doesn’t @GovBillLee say TN has a huge surplus of $ - yet kids go without because of a $29,000 loss last year? Pro life - just not pro-food, I guess.
Thank you @emilyfor7, that was a very special moment for me and I hope everyone given the circumstances.
Honored to serve in this capacity and look forward to connecting more with constituents.
