Worth the 400-mile trip to testify…

After traveling 400 miles from Post Falls to testify at today’s public school funding hearing, Matt Barkley, a school band director, said the trip was worth it. “I was a little nervous with the large crowds here,” he said. “I came down at 6 in the morning to get in line. It was worth it - I heard a lot of compelling testimony, and I hope that the committee heard that, too.”
