House hosting page program, as first group of youngsters prepares to depart, second to arrive
The House has begun its page program, including skits; that may mean HB 464, the controversial bill asserting state authority over local government regulation of oil and gas drilling, may not come up today, depending on how long the program takes. It's the next bill up on the House calendar. House and Senate pages are high school students from around the state; the current batch is nearing the end of its stint, and a new group will arrive for the second half of this year's session.
