NEW: After throwing Superintendent Chris Reykdal under the bus and saying Washington's public schools were "mediocre," I asked Gov. Bob Ferguson's office if he would not be opting the state into the federal education tax credit, which would unlock $1 billion in federal funds
Reykdal opposed the program
Ferguson's office told me that they are STILL reviewing the program and that the "governor does expect to make a decision by Jan. 1."
