George Miller: “I urge members of this committee to encourage these efforts--by staying out of their way.”

I also urge you to maintain a laser-like focus on equity in the ESEA waiver renewal process.

It is ironic to me that I hear people talk about you cannot pass legislation because we need to respect state water rights.

I'm afraid that an awful lot of time and motion is being wasted trying to give the appearance of reform instead of actually making real, structural changes.

Let's just fix the problems with it. Let's don't start from scratch and rewrite the whole law.
