State Rep. Travis Clardy says the push by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott for school vouchers is “wrong headed” and he, like others in the Texas Legislature, want specifics for Abbott’s insistence on his voucher program.
Clardy, R-Nacogdoches, whose House District 11 covers six East Texas counties including Panola, said the governor has been vocal on the topic but has not followed up with details on why he favors vouchers. He was speaking to a gathering of Panola County Republican Women on Tuesday.
“Gov. Abbott says he wants it, but he won’t tell us what he wants and what it looks like,” he said. Clardy said vouchers would be detrimental to public schools.
