Assessments
evidence-backed verdictsThese are sourced verdicts from fact-checkers or community evidence reviews — not opinions.
In his Jan. 6, 2025 State of the State address, Gov. Little proposed setting aside $50 million for a private school-choice program. The Legislature enacted that recommendation as House Bill 93 (up to $5,000/student, $7,500 for students with disabilities, priority for families at or below 300% of the federal poverty level), and Little signed it into law on Feb. 27, 2025, creating the $50 million Parental Choice Tax Credit. He therefore did exactly what the promise states: recommended the $50 million, and the recommended program was enacted with his signature. FULL rather than CHAMPIONED is correct — the bill was authored and driven through the Legislature by lawmakers (e.g., Rep. Wendy Horman, Sen. Lori Den Hartog); Little's role was the executive budget recommendation plus signing, which fulfills a 'recommend $50 million' promise but is not evidence he personally led/authored the legislative effort.
