“I am bitterly disappointed that Education Tax Credits were not included in the deal reached today between both the Assembly and the Senate. While an additional $250 million in mandated services is welcome for private and parochial schools, this relief has nothing to do with the parents. This money for mandated services has long been owed to these schools. Education Tax Credits is about providing real relief to parents who shoulder the burden of paying tuition for their children. I will not give up the fight for Education Tax Credits and am confident my colleagues will continue the fight with me. We will not give up until parents receive the relief they are entitled to.”
