Testimony running nearly 4-1 against career ladder bill; hearing to continue this afternoon

So far, 25 people have testified on HB 222, the teacher career ladder bill, six in favor and 19 against. House Education Chairman Reed DeMordaunt just announced that the committee will take a break at 5 minutes to 11 this morning – 25 minutes after it was supposed to already be in session on the House floor – and then reconvene the hearing this afternoon at 2:30 in the Lincoln Auditorium to continue testimony.
