Faith healing panel hearing opens

As this morning’s legislative committee hearing on faith healing and children at risk opened, Sen. Dan Johnson, R-Lewiston, the panel’s co-chair, said, “To me, the issue is really about balancing interests, those of the state and those of the parents. I think that’s very key.” He said, “There’s a lot of strong feelings about this issue on both sides, and I respect that, but I want to stay focused on what our task is here”/ Betsy Russell , Eye on Boise.
