“I am standing here today on this side of the aisle to demonstrate that full funding of special education is not a Republican issue, it is not a liberal issue or a conservative issue. It is not a Democratic issue. It is an issue that every single Member of Congress and every single citizen of this country, most notably property taxpayers, should be concerned with. Indeed, depending upon what school districts decide to do, one can say that fully funding special education can be a form of property tax relief for every property taxpayer in this country. It returns the decisions for local spending for education to the local level.”
