LISTEN: Choosing School Choice with Mike Stenhouse

This week on the Cobblestone Press, host Kevin Aherne was joined by the CEO of the Rhode Island Center for Freedom and Prosperity, Mike Stenhouse to discuss a pair of proposed bills that would lead to robust school choice reform in Rhode Island. 

The Rhode Island Center for Freedom and Prosperity will participate in a legislative press conference Wednesday regarding the Bright Today educational choice scholarship legislation that will be introduced  in both the House and Senate.
