conflict with the fed

Mr. Monfredo's suggestion on Thursday that we look at the unfunded mandates by the state and federal government has some merit, but his suggestion about capping charter schools brings us into direct conflict with the federal Department of Education: Secretary Duncan has tied the use of federal stimulus funding to states removing the caps on charter schools. It's fairly clear that our governor has made the promise.
We may thus be faced with a tough choice: no money, or more charters.
