Matt Maddock, a Michigan state legislator, shared a series of posts on March 27, 2026, addressing government advertising spending and the cost of private education in Michigan.
In his first post, Maddock criticized the use of taxpayer funds for public advertisements. He wrote, “Every day you see and hear dozens of ads that are paid for with hundreds of millions of tax dollars. They tell us what we already know. It’s a scam to funnel tax money to the hostile media. I’m doing a bill to make these ads and PSA’s say they are paid for with tax dollars” (March 27, 2026). In this message, Maddock announced plans to introduce legislation requiring government-funded advertisements and public service announcements to disclose their funding source.
Later that day, Maddock addressed the cost structure of private education in Michigan. He stated, “Private schools in Michigan cost an average between 6500-13000 per year. There are an average 180 days of instruction. Meaning a private school education runs $36-72 per pupil per day.” (March 27, 2026).
In another post on the same date, Maddock responded to an unspecified topic or user with “Confirmed. Roger that. Over and out” (March 27, 2026).
Maddock’s comments about government advertising reflect ongoing debates over transparency in public spending and concerns about how taxpayer money is allocated for communication campaigns by federal and state agencies.
His remarks on private school costs align with broader discussions about educational funding in Michigan. According to recent data from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), tuition at private schools can vary widely depending on factors such as location and grade level.
