(Guest post by Greg Forster)
The Indiana Triple Play put me over the top for a total of seven school choice “enactments” this year, winning my bet with Jay Mathews on whether school choice is politically viable. So what comes next?
Now is the time on Jay P. Greene’s Blog when we run up the score!
Ladies and gentlemen, say hello to the Oklahoma Eight Ball:
Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin today signed into law the Oklahoma Equal Opportunity Education Scholarship Act, which will provide tax credits to individuals and businesses that donate to nonprofits that distribute private-school scholarships to eligible families.
“This legislation is another victory in a year of nationwide progress toward the goal of giving families access to effective educational options for their children,” Robert Enlow, president and CEO of the Foundation for Educational Choice, said. “More parents now will have the power to choose the best education for their children. Most importantly, more children will have the chance to receive an education that prepares them for success in life.”
Nine more states – nine! – remain in play for possible enactments this year.
Will Jay be spared the embarrassment of even more enactments? Ask the magic Oklahoma Eight Ball:



Nice job Greg! And just to make sure readers are not confused — Greg is referring to Jay Mathews, not me.
