Opponents slam Republican backed bill increasing tax credit for rich private school donors

Opponents are slamming a Republican backed bill that would once again dramatically increase the tax credit for private school donations. Democratic representatives criticized House Bill 408 calling it a tax break for wealthy individuals and corporations with personal interests that diverts potential tax dollars towards private schools instead of public schools, adding that further increasing tax incentives for rich donors would do nothing to address current public school needs across the district.
