Utah Gov. Spencer Cox announced Thursday he will veto a school choice bill that has worked its way through the state Legislature, sparking criticism from conservatives.

During a press conference Thursday, Cox, a Republican, said that he would veto a bill that would establish an education scholarship program in the state

The governor said "now is not the time" to enact the legislation, even after mentioning teachers have struggled in the past two years amid the pandemic.

Conservatives on Twitter were quick to point out Cox had received a $75,000 campaign donation from the National Education Association, the nation's largest teacher union that has universally opposed school choice policies nationwide.

And that's how it works. Those who pay the piper call the tune.

Yep. Money wins every time. It’s why it doesn’t matter which party controls the government, the results are always the same. Until we realize that and do whatever we can to change it nothing substantial is going to change.

Surprise! The uniparty strikes again.

And hence, we will not be able to vote our way out of the current collapse.

Gee, I’ll bet he had Mitten’s endorsement, too. The GOP needs to clean house. It may be “the big tent party” but there is no room under the big top for scurrilous self serving bastards like this.

That’s THE ISSUE that republicans should be running on. Awful, awful stuff! Can’t ever win with the democrats in charge of the republican party!

"Cox had received a $75,000 campaign donation from the National Education Association"

Utah Repubs should hammer him with that early and often.

He should never serve again. For any elected office. Ever.

Remember in Utah a revelation from a burning bosom has historically led to a great deal of error among the community's leaders. _/#truth

This is why so many Americans flocked to Donald Trump. They don’t trust the @ssholes who have made a career in politics out of lying all the time and betraying their constituents.

Taking this stand is bad enough. His rationale for the veto sounds like something I’d hear from a simpering homosexual.

Does every new GOP governor go to some mandatory backstabbing seminar before they get sworn in ??!

He’s Deep State.

Merely $75,000? People sell their souls for cheap.
