Sen. Monty Pearce, R-New Plymouth, debating in favor of SB 1110, the teacher performance pay bill, said, "Today I think is one of the most exciting days in Idaho history, where we've had the nerve and the internal fortitude to stand up and say it's time to do it right, it's time to make a change." He said, "I hope we have the wisdom ... to stand up and really do it for the kids."
