The House has voted 52-15 to kill SB 1080a, on early childhood and early intervention; only the House's 13 Democrats and two Republicans, Reps. Nesset and Trail, voted in favor of the bill. There was no debate; the vote appeared to be in retaliation for Democrats' forcing full reading of bills - including this one, which stretched for 14 pages and had earlier passed the Senate on a 27-8 vote. A noticeably upset Rep. Phylis King, D-Boise, the House sponsor of SB 1080a, then voted “no” on the motion to adjourn for the night; she co-sponsored the bill with GOP Sen. Tim Corder, R-Mountain Home.

My solution to better government in Idaho:
BIENNIAL SUMMER LEGISLATIVE SESSIONS!
Results: less inane and harmful legislation, fewer farmers who would have to tend to crops and more teachers who could tend to promoting education of our youth.
I don’t know how to exclude the new wave right wingers. Maybe an IQ test.

You need to review the bios of the legislators — very, very few are involved in agriculture. Check out the legislative website for their respective bios.
