WASHINGTON – United States Senators John Cornyn and Kay Bailey Hutchison released the following statement today regarding the FAA Reauthorization Act:
“Texas school children deserve better than this. The Doggett amendment, which was supported by every member of the Texas Democratic delegation, will treat Texas differently than every other state in the union and deprive our schools of $830 million in federal education funding.
Doggett is an idiot for two reasons...
1. This only helps Rick, helps Republicans, and helps stir up resentment against Democrats at the polls.
2. Ultimately the amendment may or may not force certain requirements... but according to Harvey Kronberg... which is a dubious source I know... the amendment might not have teeth. Still, it is likely unconstitutional because it directly violates a pretty clear tenet of the Texas system which says no funding may be committed beyond a single biennium... a system which ensures Texas never has a budget deficit... Doggett's amendment is essentially a kamikaze mission against his own state...

Hey now, campaign characters. Be nice. I know a lot of you on both sides, so I don't want any overly foul language, personal attacks on anyone other than the candidates themselves, or other party fouls. I will moderate the heck out of you if you start breaking the bounds of civility.
