What do you think should be done? What's the next step in this debate over vouchers and choice in the next budget? Representative I think the biggest fight is that On the Republican side, voucher is wanting to be expanded. On the Democratic side, we're pretty much for public schools and we don't want to see voucher expanded. I think the part that's being missed is what's in the best interest of the child. In Milwaukee, we have a lot of great public schools, just like we have a lot of great voucher schools. (05:35–05:48)
