NY GOP urges Hochul to opt in to scholarship tax-break despite teachers union pushback

New York’s House Republicans are demanding that Gov. Kathy Hochul opt New York in for a federal tax credit scholarship program that’s drawn the ire of the powerful teachers union. The Democratic governor has so far refused to sign onto the program — which would give taxpayers a tax break as high as $1,700 for donations to scholarship-granting organizations with the goal of aiding the state’s neediest students.
