Anti-Occupy bill heads to amending order
The Senate State Affairs Committee has voted to send HB 404, the bill to evict the Occupy Boise encampment from state property across from the Capitol, to the Senate's 14th Order for amendments. The only "no" vote came from Sen. Michelle Stennett, who said she can't support considering the bill in any form; you can read my full story here at spokesman.com.
Sen. Russ Fulcher, R-Meridian, told the crowd, "I'm not sure that I understand the message, I'm not sure that if I did I'd agree with it, but the one thing I do respect and thank you for is a willingness to share it, and I recognize the right to do that. I'm not happy with things either."
