(Justin Wan/Lincoln Journal Star via AP)Activists declared a victory this week in their fight to repeal a new Republican-backed law allowing Nebraska taxpayer money to be used for private school tuition. If the law is repealed, Nebraska would join North Dakota as the only states not offering some type of public payment for private school tuition. AdvertisementBoth Nebraska and North Dakota passed bills earlier this year to fund some private school tuition. North Dakota’s bill set aside $10 million in taxpayer dollars for private school tuition reimbursement. Opponents answered that optimism with a shrug, noting that companies and people are always free to make charitable contributions to private school tuition scholarship programs.
