So says the sticker that dozens of lawmakers have been wearing these days.
The Senate just approved HB 2261, the basic education funding bill that Reps. Pat Sullivan and Ross Hunter have been working on relentlessy, along with Republican Rep. Skip Priest. If passed and signed by the Governor, it will be the most significant change to our state's K-12 funding system in 30 years.
The House passed the bill last month and since then numerous education advocacy groups and editorial boards and columnists have pushed for the Senate to pass the House's bill (here, here and here, for example).
