State of the State: Lee pushes vouchers, justice reform

Gov. Bill Lee likely has his first big fight on his hands.

The Republican announced in his State of the State address Monday night that he would push for a $25.5 million private-school voucher pilot program. Lee aides said the educations savings account pilot would take place in school districts with three or more schools in the bottom 10-percent of Tennessee schools. That means Davidson County, Hamilton County, Knox County, Shelby County, Madison County and the Achievement School District.
