STEM initiative funding fails 17-2
Rep. Phylis King, D-Boise, brought props this morning to support her bid to fund part of the Idaho Commission for Libraries request for $183,700 for a STEM initiative. “This was put together by a 5-year-old,” she told JFAC. “It shows that Play-doh can conduct electricity. … This is completing a circuit.” On a 17-2 vote, JFAC voted against funding the proposed STEM initiative.
