I know that the majority leader has indicated that he would be willing to work with the minority in developing the concept where the gas tax repeal would be subject to some amendments, including a technical amendment to be offered by the majority leader regarding previously purchased gas, an amendment to be offered by the Democratic leader or his designee, and then one to be offered by the majority leader or his designee. I know you have a Senator that has been working on trying to come up with a way to guarantee the people actually get this gas tax repeal. I am willing, on behalf of the majority leader, to modify that unanimous-consent request to include those amendments on the gas tax, if that would be helpful.

The answer to education is not just more money. It's not just stimulus money. It's not just money for technology. It's how you use that money. And I emphasize rewards of incentives rather than punishments for the kids or for the teachers.
