Closing debate: ‘A painful decision’

In his closing debate, Senate Finance Chairman Dean Cameron, R-Rupert, said, “This is a painful decision and a painful process, so I want to thank my friends in the minority.” He said, “Public schools is and always will be our highest priority. … Every teacher I know is a professional, and they’re going to teach to the best of their ability regardless of this public school appropriation. … Every teacher I know gives their all. They sacrifice unbelievably to make sure that our kids and our grandkids are appropriately taught.
