The Republican minority leader and the party whip charged the Democratic leadership of the House with abusing power and procedure.
The Republican minority leader, Peter J. Schmitt, called her "my friend."
Senator Bob Dole of Kansas, the Republican minority leader, also praised the action.
"It caused us to lose our focus," said George Oros, the Republican minority leader.
Peter J. Schmitt, the Republican minority leader, said that he would consider higher taxes or fees only as a last resort.
"They're wrapping the cloak of education around their tax package," said Senator Smith, the Republican minority leader.
"That is the public mood," said Representative Steven Pierce, the Republican minority leader.
But Mr. Schmitt, the Republican minority leader, said that the $81.7 million was a "scary" figure.
"I would urge my colleagues on the other side of the aisle to try again," said Bob Dole, the Republican minority leader.
The Republican minority leader shrugged off the offense and criticized the commission for its slow response time.
