MADISON, Wis. — Wisconsin Democratic gubernatorial candidate Mary Burke said Tuesday that the state should not have expanded the private school voucher program statewide or created a new private school tax deduction.

Calling the tax breaks and voucher spending “a new entitlement program that we don’t need,” Burke said at a luncheon hosted by the political website wispolitics.com that the state should not be subsidizing with taxpayer money the choice parents make to send their children to private school.
