Salt Lake Tribune - School voucher bill passes House by a single vote
This would be the first universal, statewide, school voucher program. Pretty dramatic step along the road to privatization, I'd say.

A school voucher bill passed the Utah House by a single vote today. It is now expected to sail through the Senate and win the governor's signature...HB148 will let parents spend public money on private school tuition. Every Utah family, with the exception of current private school students, would be eligible for a voucher ranging from $500 to $3,000 depending on family income.
