Angie Craig: “It is critical we vote now, that we vote for the amendment offered by the Senator from Oregon and reject the amendment…”

On the recordMarch 28, 2007
It is critical we vote now, that we vote for the amendment offered by the Senator from Oregon and reject the amendment of the Senator from North Carolina for micromanaging a decision that ought to be made at the local school district level when it comes to the allocation of these resources. The Federal Government and this Senate should not be telling the local school district in Nezperce, ID, or in a county such as Idaho County, ID: Here is how you are going to spend your money. We know better than the local school district or the local patrons of that district. I hope you vote no on Burr and support the bipartisan amendment.
