"Our children should not wait any longer."

Advocacy on the foundation budget bill reconciliation coming in from Foxboro today:

Any missed opportunity to invest in our kids stunts all of our collective futures. When we provide adequate educational resources for all children, we provide a foundation, an opportunity for success regardless of the child’s background.
We know that there are competing budgetary priorities for all publicly funded entities, but we are fierce competitors prepared to battle for our children.

Devin McCourty, Matthew Slater, and Jason McCourty of the New England Patriots argue in favor of implementation of all aspects of the foundation budget. It was even mentioned at today's press conference:

In response to questions about the NFL's anthem policy, Devin McCourty said he wants to see more coverage of players' work in the community. He's currently helping push a bill for more funding for local schools.
