The administrative costs will be quite hefty.

I was under the impression that all the costs would be borne by the Feds, regardless of how much or how much the regions might have to spend from their budgets.  Nevertheless, this bill will be very expensive..

Is my understanding correct that no agreement has been reached between the sponsor and the amendment sponsor and thus a vote is in order on it?

I think you have misunderstood me throughout this debate. I've really thought about all the angles that could be taken here, I just couldn't find any that would work. It isn't that I didn't want to. I also felt it better to be honest when I plan on vetoing something because we have other things to debate, so I didn't mean for you to take it as me being rude. For example, how long should a good Senate sit on a resolution for authorizing force on Iran? Even if I disagree with that too I feel like you proposed it because you felt there was a sense of urgency. That's the only reason why I suggested tabling this bill, not because I wanted to "have my way".


Ah, Mr. President, there are three open slots that can be reasonably used to accomodate a rush on an issue such as the Iran Authortization (PPT, Emergency, and Foreign Policy), if such were requested by the sponsor. I was under the impression that the National Security committee wanted to paw through it first, as well.

The NSC is going to handle the Treaty Ratification Amendment, and then we will handle the Iranian Resolution.

Could you expand on that a little further? Imnot seeing why those costs would rise.

Unfriendly... I believe assistance for districts to offset costs and assistance to parents is crucial for this bill

Sbane- I agree with you that I don't see costs would significantly rise and if they do- so be it. I believe this is a worthy expenditure that will improve the education fo rmany across the country

I appreciate the intent of the sponsor... but believe it takes away a good chunk of what we need to make this policy a success and impact those who we want to reach

Nay.

I don't think this bill works but we could encourage the regions to pass a law similar to what the Northeast has. In the end I came to the conclusion that the best thing to do was to pass what the Northeast has, but since my colleagues found that compelling regions to do it by denying them funding was unconstitutional, I have no choice but to abandon this bill.
