The North Carolina Legislature recently passed a new budget
granting universal school choice. It will eliminate the income
gap presently required for being eligible in the Tar Heel State's
education-voucher program. The legislation also has a Medicaid
expansion which the state's Democrat Governor Roy Cooper
wanted and was passed by a veto-proof majority. Despite the
vote count being mostly along party lines, four Democrat
state representatives voted for the bill. All this made North Carolina
the tenth state to grant universal vouchers, and may this be
a continuing trend. By the by, this story is a sterling example
of how well bipartisanship can work when it is performed
truly for the good of the people.
