It’s the kind of objection that GOP opponents raised for years; now Abbott and Hancock look to change the rules after the fact with the help of the man Hancock voted to remove from office
After GOP
critics of school voucher programs for years warned that Madrassas – and other
schools that scare some conservatives – would be eligible to receive taxpayer
dollars under every iteration of such a system, Texas Republicans this year bent
to pressure from Gov. Greg Abbott to go ahead and approve it with no
guardrails for that.
It’s the
kind of objection that was often raised by then-Sen. Kel Seliger, R-Amarillo,
on the floor of the Texas Senate back during sessions when the proposal
would ultimately fail in the Texas House.
That opposition
angered Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, who demoted the once powerful Senate
Higher Education Committee Chairman over it. But it didn’t matter at
the time to Gov. Abbott. He didn’t care about this, of course, until more than
$10 million flowed into his campaign account from school voucher supporter Jeff
Yass from Pennsylvania.
Now, after
the fact and amid anti-Muslim and anti-Chinese fervor in GOP primaries, Acting
Comptroller Kelly Hancock is asking Attorney General Ken Paxton whether
the state can legally exclude certain Islamic and Chinese-linked private schools
from the $1 billion initial program expected to ballon in cost in the coming
years.

Appointments, campaign leadership, agency news, and more
It’s
finally arrived.
The last People
on the Move of 2025 is hittin’ your inbox
this afternoon just as so many of you have already checked out for the year and
others are cramming in the last bit of work so that you can take a
well-deserved break for the next two weeks.
Y’all know by now that at Quorum
Report, our team will continue to monitor the news and give you a heads up if something significant comes across my desk at Buzz
Central. But holiday mode also means less frequent updates before we
ramp up again in early January as the campaigns hit their stride across Texas ahead
of the March primary. Make sure your QR subscriptions are
current and that you’re following Quorum Report Radio on your favorite podcast
app. The links for all that are on the Quorum Report homepage, of course.
You are also
well aware by now that People on the Move is the most efficient way to spread
the news about your new gig – or the career news of a friend or foe – so make
sure to send the scoop anytime to ksbraddock@gmail.com.
If you use POTM in the subject line, it helps me keep it all straight in my inbox.
Thanks so
much for another year of your business. Here’s the latest edition:
