In a recent speech at the National Press Club, U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer, D-NY, explained that improving economic opportunities for middle-class Americans is the key issue on which Democrats and Republicans should be focusing leading up to the 2016 presidential election and beyond. If this is the case, the Georgia Legislature can advance an important piece of the middle class agenda: Increase the annual cap on income-tax credits available for contributions to scholarship programs that fund private school options for K-12 students from low- and middle-income families. Schumer’s speech was a watershed moment.
