Sen. Dean Cameron's second through fifth reasons he's opposing SB 1184 (see item below for his No. 1):
2 - "Every single stakeholder is opposed to it." It's not a consensus approach, he said.
3 - "This bill lacks flexibility to school districts." He said, "All the time it's giving flexibility, it takes money away."
4 - "In my humble opinion, this bill does lock us in and does bind future legislators. ... The bill contains inflators and deflators. ... It ties the hands of JFAC and future legislators."
5 - Consolidation of least-efficient school districts. "I know the senator from (District) 4 will say it's not part of the bill. ... But it is part of the plan, and it at least was part of the plan until Tuesday." He said the bill, as written, will force that move in the out years, cutting $10.8 million in funding from schools in seven counties - Shoshone, Payette, Canyon, Gooding, Twin Falls, Lincoln and Bingham.
