The reality, and I'd like to dig into those numbers because I can tell you the reality, and that is when you look at what we did in 2019 that we followed up with in 2021, We provided well over $10 billion in additional funding for schools across the state [in 2019 and 2021]. I can tell you this. No governor has provided more funding for education than I have. No governor's provided more funding for teacher pay raises than I have. (03:27–03:47)
