Nussle wants to subsidize parochial school

Nussle wants to subsidize parochial school

"Nussle would expand the current $250 tax credit for parents who send their kids to a private school to $1,500... He estimates parents with kids in preschool or a private K-through-12 school would avoid paying about $10-million in state taxes under his proposed credit."


So, does that money come out of the PUBLIC education budget?

Looks like Nussle is hustling for the Dubuque vote; I don't have the latest stats but as of the 1990 census, Dubuque had the highest percentage of students enrolled in parochial school in the whole country - nearly 40%.
