“I was pleased the RTM rallied around these amendments on an overwhelming and bipartisan basis. It demonstrated that the RTM can effectively wield its limited tools to serve as a check to BET overreach. It also sent an important signal: the $4.5 million in amendments approved matches the amount of cuts the BET forced onto the school system.” – James Waters
