UPFRONT: Senate’s Final Day

Published | Video Starts at 02:26

We want to get the money back to the people who paid the taxes in. So we just proposed $1,000 rebate per person per taxpayer. So that's what we want to stick with. Clearly, the governor is trying to get us to negotiate with him and he's on the exact opposite side where he doesn't want to give any type of rebate. He wants to spend the money. So at this moment, no deal from Senate Republicans if rebate checks are not included? That is correct. The governor has said that he wants more in education funding and an increase in general school aid. (02:26–02:37)
