In a time of turmoil over public schools and how they are run, it is perhaps unsurprising that a state would consider a school choice bill and that a governor would threaten a veto. But the reasoning that Utah's governor gave for his veto might be the strangest one yet.
Spencer Cox, a Republican, has served as Utah's governor for just over a year. Despite threatening to veto a school choice bill recently passed by his state's legislature, he says he supports the concept. "I am an advocate for choice," Cox said in a press conference earlier this month. "I think parents should be able to use taxpayer money in other ways."
