John Kline: “We need an administration to work with Congress to advance lasting solutions for the challenges facing schools…”

I cannot State emphatically enough that far-reaching reform, fiscal responsibility, and bipartisanship must be the principles that guide us as we work to solve this problem.

Former Chairman John Kline, while recognizing that the overtime threshold should be responsibly reformed, called the administration's drastic move extreme and partisan.

No one voted for me in less than 35 days, and I would afford employees the same opportunity to be able to make an informed decision with regard to choosing their union representation.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I thank the witnesses for being with us today. Excellent testimony, as we're trying to solve the problem that some of us have been dealing with for a long time.
