Huge crowd for H&W public hearing

People line up to sign up to testify on Health & Welfare funding, before a public hearing on Friday morning. It's the second-ever public hearing held by the Legislature's joint budget committee; the first was last Friday on school funding. (Betsy Russell)

There's a huge crowd here at the Capitol this morning for the JFAC "listening hearing" on Health & Weflare spending; here, people line up to sign in to have their say. Each person who testifies will get 3 minutes.
