Texas education funding by federal government DENIED

It seems from my understanding that the federal government has denied Texas an education fund allocated to education across the nation. States had to submit an application to get part of a 10 billion dollar budget that was set aside for education by Congress. Texas submitted an application for 830 million. Then was denied because our fearless leader and governor Rick Perry could not commit that education spending would stay consistent for the following 3 years. I ask my self the question "Why not?" and "Who ells is reaching into the cookie jar?". Now Mr. Perry and Mr. Doggett are pointing fingers at each other playing the blame game. There were a few districts that were not depending on this federal funding (one of them being AISD) but as stated in the The Austin Chronicle they did have an outline for this funding. Never the less this had a major impact on other school districts that were depending on this education fund. All in all the bottom line is that this will affect the children more than anyone ells. They state that this is not permanent and that we can still get this money but we wouldn't get a penny until fiscal year of 2012. If thats the case its just as bad as not getting it period. Theres nothing that can be done at this point other than to try and get the funds in fiscal year of 2012, and because of that I strongly believe some one needs to be held accountable.
