PHOENIX — 12News has sued state Treasurer Kimberly Yee and Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Horne to obtain public records regarding how tax dollars have been used to fund Arizona's education voucher program since it was significantly expanded in 2022.

The suit, filed in Maricopa County Superior Court, claims Yee and Horne have "delayed, denied and deflected" straightforward requests for public records in violation of the Arizona Public Records Law for Empowerment Scholarship Account records.

Yee and Horne share responsibility in managing the ESA program for more than 92,000 Arizona children, which has significantly grown and costs taxpayers more than $1 billion a year.

Each did not respond or declined to comment on the lawsuit.
