I appreciate your reaction and your recommendations, but never has anyone, yourself or anyone from the Department of Public Instruction come to us. Never went to the ranking member, never went to the chair of education, never went to members of finance and said, hey, this is a priority. We got to fix this. You know, shouldn't we be doing all we can? That's where the frustration level is. So you say we're making political points or people are making political hay. (00:09–00:16)
