Wisconsin families need approval from Governor Evers to participate in the new program and Evers thus far refused to grant that approval.\n\nIn the letter, Steil writes, \u201cLow- and middle-income families deserve access to the same quality educational opportunities as those who are more fortunate. Denying Wisconsin families educational opportunities for the sake of partisan politics is irresponsible, unfair, and counterproductive to our shared goal of improving educational outcomes for Wisconsin students.\u201d\n\nThese funds can be used for a variety of vital educational needs, including tuition, school supplies, support services for students with intellectual and developmental disabilities and transportation. Opting out will mean denying Wisconsin families access to this assistance.", 1, "2026-04-04T05:28:40Z", "2026-04-04T05:30:10Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://steil.house.gov/media/press-releases/steil-leads-call-for-governor-to-end-opposition-to-scholarship-program"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.7802640795707703, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
