House Ed wraps up for day after nearly four hours of testimony, 6-1 against bills

After nearly four hours of testimony, without a break, House Education Committee Chairman Bob Nonini, R-Coeur d’Alene, said, “I think we’ll stop our committee at this point. We’ll pick up at 8 a.m. tomorrow morning back down here.” Nonini said the committee will take back up “right where we left off” on the signup list for testimony. Twenty-nine people testified today, only five of them supporting the bills, SB 1108 and SB 1110; that’s nearly six-to-one against the measures.
