Commentary: Federal Tax Credit Scholarship Legislation Is Advancing

In mid-May, the U.S. House of Representatives Budget Committee passed a major GOP tax bill, which contains the Educational Choice for Children Act (ECCA), and it now heads to the House floor. ECCA would provide financial assistance to families in all 50 states that have incomes less than three times their “area’s median income.” Eligible parents could use the funds for a wide range of education-related expenses, including private and parochial school tuition, books and other instructional materials, online classes, private tutoring, and educational therapies for students with disabilities provided by a licensed or accredited practitioner or provider. Homeschooling parents would also be covered. Hence, parents can use the scholarships to provide their children with an education that they believe best suits their needs.

Exclusive: Bigg Vinny Releases ‘Walmart Drip’ Song and Video

Singer/songwriter Vencent Hickerson, aka Bigg Vinny, releases his new song and video "Walmart Drip" exclusively with The Tennessee Star. The latest single describes what would happen if Toby Keith took Bruno Mars and Snoop Dogg on a trip to Walmart. The song came from a day of shopping at Walmart with his wife and kids. "She said she just needed one thing, which meant $500," Bigg Vinny explained. "When I was there, I saw a glorious swimsuit set with a beach view and palm trees printed on it. I immediately put it on when we got home; I looked at my wife and said, 'Dang girl, look at all this DRIP!'"
