House Dems pick up their ball and go home on education reform
House Republican Leader Kevin Elsenheimer issued the following statement after House Democrats walked away from negotiations for sensible and needed education reforms and the corresponding federal funding:
"After a long year of kowtowing to Lansing special interests, this latest Democrat tantrum is no surprise. On behalf of Michigan's students, I am greatly disappointed that the Democrats are running from this opportunity to not only reform Michigan schools, but bring home some much-needed funding.
"Once again under Democrat control, political games take precedent over an opportunity for real government reform. It's abundantly clear that House Democrats do not have the votes to enact needed education reform, and once again, House Republican's are ready to lead the way to get this accomplished, and that's exactly what we're doing.
"We're ready to vote on a proposal that accomplishes exactly what President Obama laid out, and the Senate proposal does that. We think that's the right thing to do for Michigan."
