Report Examines $1 Billion Education Budget Gap In State House Bills

Colin Jones, analyst for the the Massachusetts Budget and Policy Center, which wrote the report, says the more expensive plan will require more taxpayer revenue but could be more effective.

Jones joined WBUR's Morning Edition host Bob Oakes to explain the implications of the conflicting plans.
