Squabble

Headline in the Battle Creek Enquirer: “MI lawmakers continue squabble over schools money“

My response (posted as a comment on the BCE site):

Squabble? Why do you use that word? It disrespects the democratic processes of disagreement, debate, and deliberation.

And if Andy Dillon says the Republican plan has provisions that would cost us federal matching funds, couldn’t some intrepid reporter have asked him just what provisions those are? They may or may not be something that speaks well of the federal funding. We need to know.
