Aside from the partisan assignations, the Senator is right about the Executive's misguided attempts to control education spending. Moving real costs to the local tax burden is not the correct solution. Our rural schools, in particular, went many years without receiving the aid they deserved. Yes, we need reform of state aid to education but this is not it. We also need reform of the laws and regulations that increase the cost for public education without improving the results.
