I guess it’s time to start a GoFundMe to help cover Kevin Stitt’s kids' private school tuition payments!
Earlier this week, after a marred and delayed launch courtesy of Oklahoma’s Top 10 for Dysfunction and Ineptitude State Government, the Stitt administration officially unveiled its private school voucher portal to help religious zealots, wealthy aristocrats and other people like our Governor who want to see public education fail, claim their big tax credits.
In an article with Oklahoma Watch, Governor Stitt – a guy likely worth over $100,000,000 thanks to the shady and unethical mortgage loan empire he built in the leadup to the 2008 financial crisis – explained how excited he was to claim the credit/voucher that’s only available to the limited few who send their kids to private schools.
You know, because “every bit helps.”
Stitt, who has three children in private schools, said his family plans to take advantage of the income tax credit. Stitt, and his wife, Sarah, also have three older children.
“I think my wife was planning to fill out the form,” Stitt said. “Everybody knows what my salary is as the state of Oklahoma governor. Every bit helps. There’s caps on it, where we’re going to prioritize it with the $75,000 and $150,000 (income levels) all in one bucket. But we’re all anxious to find out how many people are out there, how many people sign up for it, and also how many new schools are started, which I’m real excited to see.”
Yep, that’s right.
