Kentucky’s Democratic Governor Andy Beshear announced that he will veto a state-wide school choice bill, despite the fact that Beshear sent his children to private schools. 

During a press conference on Wednesday, Beshear said he will use his “executive authority” to veto the “Education Opportunity Account Program,” (EOA) which allows Kentucky residents to take their dollars to any school of their choice. Families would also be allowed to use the money to pay for tuition, books, uniforms, tutoring, and other school-related expenses.
