Political Quotes

On the recordOctober 11, 2000
When we were negotiating the 100,000 teachers last year, the first thing the administration said is we have to take about 10 percent off the top, I think they wanted 15 percent, to keep on the Federal level. I said, wait a minute, you are not hiring the teachers. The local school board is hiring the teachers. Then they called back and said we certainly need 10 percent for the States off the top. I said, wait a minute. The State is not hiring the teachers. The local school districts are hiring the teachers; that is where the money should go. Of course, we won that argument because it makes sense.
