Governor Haslam Revives School Voucher Debate

Governor Bill Haslam wants low income students to have vouchers for private schools. But Tennessee Republicans don't think income should be the issue.

In this week's Capitol Hill Conversation, WPLN's Bradley George talks with Andrea Zelinsky about the governor's proposal to offer school vouchers to lower income students. But Gov. Haslam is not too keen on an expanded voucher plan wanted by Republicans in the general assembly.
