I’ll see your Tuition Tax Credit Committee and . . .

Looks like the state R legislators are getting religion (snarks permissable in comments section).

After the Dems set up a task force to look into tuition tax credits and STOs, the Rs wanted one of their own.

House Speaker Kirk Adams on Thursday announced the formation of the Private School Tuition Tax Credit Review Committee, a move designed to put the matter squarely in Republican hands.

Adams directed the GOP-led committee to review the private school tuition tax credit program and to propose changes to state law before the 2010 Legislative session.

You'll notice a slight difference in emphasis. Dems, who were never fond of the tax credits, are concerned about the abuses of the system. Rs, on the other hand, love their program.

“Tuition tax credits are very important to Arizonans, and they merit a formal House committee review process,” Adams said in a prepared statement. “This committee will review the impact of these tax credits and make recommendations for their future use.”

The Dem task force has 5 Ds, 3 Rs. The R committee has 3 Rs and 2 Ds. I have a funny feeling we'll be seeing very different reports from the two groups.

Dem Tom Chabin will be on both groups. That should prove interesting.
