And that is not what our states schools, families and students need now. We have before us a budget that proposes massive cuts to public education. This budget would raise the cost for families. State and local taxpayers would have to make up for the $6 billion cut to programs supporting 50 million K through 12 students served in our nation's public schools. And I will not support a proposal to cut funding to Wisconsin for public elementary and secondary education. Your budget request would also make higher education more expensive and harder to access for working families. (05:28–05:44)
