Rep. Lenore Barrett, R-Challis, the fourth House member to debate for the second time, urged everyone to stop debating. “We knew this morning that noses were counted and heels dug in,” she said.

Rep. Fred Wood, R-Burley, is now giving the closing debate. “We carried on a debate today that was extremely passionate, extremely heartfelt, and I think we did the citizens of Idaho proud, I really do.”
