“I would also, before we finish this, just commend the gentleman from North Carolina (Mr. Etheridge) for his very attractive tax credit school bond proposal. It would be of great benefit to districts like mine. New Jersey would be able to get on with building a couple hundred million dollars worth of school construction, just in my State, if this legislation goes through. I certainly am doing all I can to advance this legislation, and I thank the gentleman from North Carolina for bringing it forward and for pushing it. There are only a few precious weeks of legislative time left this year, and this is surely one of the most important things that is remaining on our agenda.”
