Apparently, that was a lie.

Or a cover.

And then we get Tricia Cotham’s betrayal to public schools.

And that argument about vouchers being for lower-income families was just thrown aside.

The NCGA House convenes overrode that veto even after so many of our public schools in the western part of the state were damaged by Hurricane Helene and many of our public school families were displaced.
