Georgia's dollars to private schools?

I am asking for public review of the GA tax credit law for private school parents. Jay Bookman's article (http://blogs.ajc.com/jay-bookman-blog/2012/05/22/the-bait-and-switch-tactic-in-georgia-education-debate/) is very eye-opening and I want every voter in Georgia to see how our state is supporting private school vouchers. Very little scholarship money is going to truly needy students. More attacks on the public school system is not what Georgia needs. Illegal to publicly disclose information about the program? The lack of accountability shows that the legislator does not want the public to know about this program! Jay Bookman and Maureen Downie are to be commended for writing about this embarrassing situation in our state.

Why is this important?

Tax dollar credits are being issued to GA parents who donate to GA private school scholarship funds with minimal dollars going to true scholarships for needy students.
