Fallin voted against $6.4 billion in school construction funding

Education is by far one of the most important issues facing our Country.  DC Mary claims that she cares about our Country, our children, and our future.

Mary is a liar.

Fallin voted against a bill that authorized $6.4 billion for school construction projects in fiscal 2010, requiring that a certain percentage be used for construction that meets environmental or energy efficiency standards.

That percentage was set at 50 percent in fiscal 2010, increasing by 10 percent each year, until reaching 100 percent in fiscal 2015. The bill also authorized $600 million in fiscal 2010 through 2015 for the repair of public schools damaged by hurricanes Katrina and Rita, applied Davis-Bacon wage requirements to the projects and barred states from taking into account funds authorized under the bill when determining a school’s eligibility for other aid.

How can someone claim to care about our Country’s future and our children’s future and stand opposed to building up our Nation’s education system?  The simple answer is someone can’t, but somehow DC Mary fails to see a reason to invest in our futures.
