When I look at that headline, I am reminded of all the admonitions to reporters, “If a dog bites a man, it’s not a story, if a man bites a dog, it’s a story.” However, something good was done in Washington recently.<\/p>\n

The Hill<\/a>\u00a0is reporting today that John Boehner and Senator Joe Lieberman<\/a> have announced that a deal has been reached to implement a renewal and expansion of the D.C. Opportunity Scholarship program<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

The private school voucher<\/a> initiative in the nation\u2019s capital is a top priority of Boehner\u2019s, and the agreement comes after the Speaker and Lieberman complained that President Obama<\/a>\u2019s decision to zero out funding for the program in his latest budget contradicted a law he signed in 2011. Boehner had successfully attached legislation extending and expanding the scholarships to a government funding accord last year.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The D.C. Opportunity Scholarship program has been a fantastic program for the city. It has allowed children from low-income families who would be at risk in the public schools in Washington, D. C., to get the education they need to be successful.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Under the agreement Boehner announced, there will be no cap on enrollment, and the program will remain open to both new and current applicants.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bi-partisanship works when the issue is valid!<\/p>\n
