House State Affairs finishes testimony on anti-Occupy bill; will vote tomorrow

After more than two hours of testimony, the House State Affairs Committee has adjourned after hearing from all those who signed up to testify; several deferred their chance to speak and submitted their testimony in writing. “I’m sure this will take some time to debate and vote on, so we will be doing that tomorrow morning,” said committee Chairman Tom Loertscher, R-Iona. He said tomorrow’s meeting will start at 9 a.m., and, “We will not be accepting testimony. We will give Rep. Bedke a chance to wrap up.” Rep. Phylis King, D-Boise, said she’d still like to hear from state Department of Administration chief Teresa Luna and the Attorney General’s office; Loertscher said that will be allowed in the morning.
