House rethinks recess ‘til 1, may be back in a few minutes for teacher salary bill…

The House is rethinking its plan to recess until 1 p.m. Majority Leader Mike Moyle just checked in with House Democrats, who were gathered on the House floor for a picture-taking session while majority Republicans are upstairs in caucus, to see if they can come back on the floor in a few minutes to take up HB 698, the teacher salary-based apportionment bill, because the Senate has an Education Committee meeting scheduled for 1 p.m. to consider it. The Dems said they were fine with that and haven’t gone anywhere.
