The Congressional Research Service estimates that, if enacted, my bill could increase federal funding for the Northern Marianas Public School System from this years $6.6 million to $14 million.\n#", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["http://sablan.house.gov/bipartisan-support-increases-odds-insular-education-funding"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.7216259837150574, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
