Texas Comptroller Don Huffines is seeking to double funding for the state's private school voucher program. The requested amount is $2 billion. A significant number of students are awaiting access to the program, with over 100,000 on the waitlist.

Critics of the program argue that there is insufficient evidence to justify expansion. They claim that vouchers have not delivered on their promises. Further information on the request and the program's effectiveness is available from the source.
