Acting Rep. Sarah Bedke, R-Oakley, filling in for injured husband Scott Bedke, told the House, "My husband is and has been a champion for education reform for the past decade. ... He has supported efforts to raise academic standards for students and raise accountability for adults. Many in this body have heard him speak passionately about the benefits of pay for performance. He's been talking about it for years. And if he was able ,he'd be here today talking about it again." She said, "On behalf of my husband I urge your green light on SB 1110."
