Do you support the “Education Freedom Account” program, which gives students access to the per-pupil share of state school funding to spend on private school or home school expenses?
"The EFA program was promoted dishonestly as inexpensive and an aid to the poor. It has proven extraordinarily expensive and constitutes a massive transfer of wealth from working class taxpayers to parents of children already in private or religious schools."

I favor an increase reflecting rises in the cost of living since the Federal minimum wage was set some decades ago."
