Arizona House OKs Navajo school voucher fix, Senate next

In this Jan. 11, 2017, file photo, Arizona Democratic Sen. Jamescita Peshlakai, a Democrat representing the Navajo Nation, addresses at a joint Senate and House session in Phoenix. Arizona lawmakers are moving to allow a handful of children from the Navajo Nation to continue using school vouchers at a Christian school in New Mexico. Emergency legislation approved in the House Friday, May 24, 2019, gives seven children another year to use their Empowerment Scholarship Account for private-school tuition in another state, though the law requires vouchers be used at Arizona schools. Peshlakai said Republicans support helping Native American children with private education but not with public education. (Bob Christie/AP, file)
