The Nevada governor says he will work with lawmakers to try to resurrect the state's school vouchers program.
The Nevada Appeal reports that Gov. Brian Sandoval said on Monday that he still plans to include the program in his upcoming budget.
Sandoval says he is working with Sen. Scott Hammond, a Las Vegas Republican who wrote the Educational Savings Account bill.
