Watching the debate…

Here’s a view of the House Gallery, which is less than half full, though more people are arriving, as the House debates SB 1108 and SB 1110 this morning, the teacher contracts bill and the teacher merit-pay bill. Meanwhile, House Majority Caucus Chairman Ken Roberts, R-Donnelly, took over the bill-reading and got as far as page 13 of the 25-page bill; Rep. Cliff Bayer, R-Boise, then took over reading.
