Ed Board Again: No To Campus Carry

Item: Ed board tries to disarm campus gun bill: In letters of opposition, members contend legislation is not a good move for Idaho's universities and colleges/Elizabeth Rudd, Lewiston Tribune

More Info: The state board took its opposition a step further Thursday, unanimously agreeing to send letters to the members of the House State Affairs Committee outlining why they do not think the bill is a good idea for the state's colleges and universities. The House is taking public testimony regarding the proposed legislation starting at 8 a.m. Mountain time today in the Lincoln Auditorium in Boise. Board members Milford Terrell and Rod Lewis agreed Thursday that it made sense to send a letter clearly outlining the board's opposition to legislators.

Question: Are all the stakeholders talking to a brick wall (as they did when the Legislature passed the Luna Laws)? Or do you think some GOP House members are getting the message that many constituents think Campus Carry is a really, really bad idea?
