Rooney added an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) ending funds to the rebels.

Submitted by Kevin Derby on December 4, 2014 - 9:44am

"Florida voters were tricked into buying smaller class sizes 14 years ago, with no research to back up the claims that this multibillion-dollar investment would improve learning outcomes for our students," said Dominic Calabro, the president and CEO of Florida TaxWatch, on Thursday. "This TaxWatch research highlights how that investment might be better utilized in the future to really make a difference in the lives of Florida students."
