One of the most influential lawmakers over the state budgeting process said he wouldn t support increasing funding for the state education agency because its new leader elected Tuesday was heavily backed by Democrats and teachers unions.

Vos went to war with Underly immediately after her election after outside spending fueled by Democratic groups set a record for state superintendent races, which are supposed to be nonpartisan but aren t as more political groups spend to back candidates and state parties promote them.
