Education Funding for Texas

Statement

Last week Senator Hutchison and I introduced legislation to repeal the House provision -- better known as the Doggett Amendment -- that has cut off Texas from more than $800 million in federal education dollars that it would otherwise be eligible for. Our legislation would put a stop to Texas Democrats' efforts to play politics with much-needed funding for Texas schools and teachers. Texas taxpayer dollars belong in Texas schools -- not in California or New York, as the Doggett Amendment would have it.
