STEN REACTS: RI KIDS DESERVE HOPE – NOT UNION CHAINS, GOVERNOR MCKEE MUST VETO BOGUS H7163
Union bosses just rammed through H7163 to sabotage school choice and steal power from Governor McKee. In this explosive new Sten Reacts, Mike Stenhouse breaks down how this bill blocks $86 million+ in federal scholarships for Rhode Island’s disadvantaged kids while sending our tax dollars to other states. Will McKee show courage and veto it? Watch now and demand action for Ocean State families!
In the latest episode of Sten Reacts, Mike Stenhouse delivers a powerful, no-holds-barred takedown of H7163. This is the latest union power grab now sitting on Governor McKee’s desk. Once again, Rhode Island’s teacher unions and their allies in the General Assembly are prioritizing political control over the futures of our children, especially those trapped in failing public schools where proficiency rates are abysmal despite sky-high per-pupil spending.
Stenhouse exposes H7163 as a blatant separation of powers assault. The federal Education Freedom Tax Credit (FSTC) program requires no new state spending or bureaucracy. It simply allows the Governor to opt Rhode Island in by designating Scholarship Granting Organizations. Yet this bill tries to strip that executive authority and hand it to the legislature, blocking access to up to $86 million annually in privately directed scholarships for tutoring, after-school programs, special-needs support, and more. Even a former Democratic mayor of Providence agrees: this is the wrong path for our kids.
Rhode Island families stand to benefit immensely, but unions fear losing their monopoly. Democratic governors in other states vetoed similar bills to protect their authority. If McKee signs H7163, Rhode Island becomes the first to voluntarily surrender power and watch education dollars flow to states like Florida and Colorado instead. In this timely Sten Reacts, Stenhouse calls on the Governor to veto immediately, assert executive authority, and unleash real hope for Ocean State students.
