This morning's planned hearing on legislation to evict the Occupy Boise encampment is being put off to Monday, due to a clerical error in the bill. "We have discovered a technical problem," said House State Affairs Chairman Tom Loertscher, R-Iona. Loertscher said the committee will print a new version of the bill this morning, and put the hearing off to Monday. The room is full, with more than two dozen Occupy Boise supporters in the audience.
