Check out Fergus’ pitch to Republican legislators to vote for the misbegotten Whalley amendment — the Union Leader says to. Pretty pathetic.

Subject: Passing an Ed Funding Amendment
Dear Republican Legislators:
I want to encourage you to support passage of an education funding amendment, provided a reasonable compromise can be struck in the coming days.
I have grave concerns that any court-ordered “solution” – and I use that term very loosely – will be far worse than any imperfect amendment that can earn passage in the legislature.
This is one of those issues where a good policy outcome – limiting the court’s role in determining education policy and funding – is far more important than political considerations. Get an amendment passed, and we’ll all be able to claim our share of the credit.
I leave the exact wording to you. But I respectfully suggest that the Union Leader had it about right in its Sunday editorial, below. Thank you.
