That’s what a panel of four experts told state legislators and legislative staffs today at the opening session of the National Conference of State Legislatures’ 2007 Legislative Summit" on August 6.

The Web report includes video clips of the panelists, "Hank Brown, president of the University of Colorado; Patrick Callan, president of the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education; and Phyllis Eisen, a senior vice president at the National Association of Manufacturers.
