School Voucher Plan Tucked into Katrina Bill

"Buried in what might eventually total $200 billion in federal spending for Hurricane Katrina is $488 million for what would be the nation's largest school voucher program," the Palm Beach Post reports.

"The proposal, which to this point is formalized only to the level of a few paragraphs in a press release, would give families displaced by the storm as much as $7,500 per child to spend on a private school, including a religious school, for the coming year."

Catholic Kennedy, Senator Mass. apparently killed this provision, at least so far as any relilgious schools were concerned.
