Senate panel clears Capitol Mall rules bill on party-line vote
Yesterday afternoon, while all eyes were on JFAC, the Senate State Affairs Committee took up the Capitol Mall rules bill, and after negative testimony in a public hearing, passed it.. Occupy Boise member Mary Reali wrote afterward, "Well, a lot of us testified, a few questions were asked, some non reassuring 'pledges' were given and H693 passed on party lines, to be voted on in the general Senate."
