Senators looking to oust 3 board members

The Senate Education Committee, which has expressed strong concerns about budgetary blunders at the state Board of Education and plans to grill all eight board members about it, also may push for ousting some of the board’s members. "I'm not going to be satisfied until two or three members of the board are removed," said Sen. Mike Jorgenson, R-Hayden, who noted that the Senate has subpoena powers. "This is not something that should be just swept under the rug." The senators’ ire is focused on three former presidents of the board – Blake Hall, Rod Lewis and Laird Stone – on whose watch the budget problems occurred.
