New York Times Article 12/5/11
A Democrat involved in the negotiations said:
“We made a reasonable offer and got nothing in return. We got naked in the room. Republicans are standing there in overcoats, hats and gloves and are toasty warm.”
A Republican aide, said a few days later:
“We showed some leg. The Democrats want us to get completely naked.”

Special Education Research – cut by $20 million in FY2011 – level funded in 2012 New NCSER Commissioner – Deborah Speece Arrived after the cut Projects are generated by local communities &
universities working together The funds are not reallocated to parts B or C of IDEA This was a cut in special education funding and erodes

You Rock!!!
How do you answer the questions like: What should we cut?
You say 2 things: I realize you will have to make tough decisions For my vote, I urge the Representative/Senator to
invest in special and gifted education
Why? Because when we don’t our nation suffers. Jobs in my district will be lost Services will cease, class sizes will increase, and Outcomes over a lifetime decrease and we lose all
potential return on investment.
