Vince Hannity, president of the Idaho Business Coalition for Education Excellence, told the House Education Committee, "IBCEE strongly supports education reform." Repeating his earlier testimony to the Senate committee, he called the "Students Come First" plan a "bold and innovative step toward the reform we need." He said, "We understand that these changes are not easy, they are painful," and said, "Several elements of the plan are controversial. Debate is raging about us. Debate is healthy, and we encourage it."
