STATE CAPITOL, PHOENIX – Senate Democratic Leader David Bradley released the following statement
on claims being made around the stalling of Senate Bill 1394 in the House:

Sen. Bradley |
"While it may be vogue currently to repeat a lie often enough that
it will become true, that is not going to work regarding what Democrats think
of charter schools. Democrats have embraced charter schools and fully support
the notion that they are the best choice for delivering educational services to
the thousands of Arizona children who attend them.
"We have consistently asked for the same thing that is expected of
any entity that utilizes public dollars: be accountable, be transparent and
demonstrate that all your decisions are in the best interest of the children
that charter schools serve.
"Some of our Republican colleagues insist on repeating the lie that
Democrats oppose charter schools, presumably in the hope that the issues of
accountability and transparency can be dismissed as partisan gamesmanship. This
is not and never will be true."
