House passes public schools budget bill, 57-11

The House has voted 57-11 in favor of SB 1200, the public school budget bill; most of the opponents were Republicans. Now, the House is moving on to SB 1040a, on which there’s been an objection on procedural grounds from House Minority Leader John Rusche, D-Lewiston, as the House moved to suspend rules and allow the bill to be considered immediately.
