Ed Budget deja vu and Sine die
Friday, April 5: In the end, this week's public schools budget was the same as the one the Senate defeated last week, except for a few lines of intent language vetted by the Education committees. Betsy Russell walks us through the delicate dances that led to final passage and adjournment.
Also, House Speaker Scott Bedke reflects on his first session in charge; we meet freshman Rep. James Holtzclaw; and we learn what passes for entertainment among reporters.
