Shapiro's Veto Halts Funding for School Voucher Program in Pa. Budget Bill

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro has announced that he will veto a portion of the state's budget bill that would have allocated $100 million for a new voucher program aimed at funding private or religious school attendance. The program was supported by Republicans and the Democratic governor, but faced opposition from Democratic lawmakers. Shapiro's move is intended to encourage consideration of alternative education options.
