The Governor made this proposal at the start of the session; the House unanimously tabled that bad idea last month. The resurrected version one-ups the Governor's by nixing increases for disabled students as well. Reps. Carson, Deadrick, Peters, Wink, Putnam, and Tidemann voted aye on the hoghouse and sent this second swing at school savings to the House floor.

A herd of senators missed the vote; the only nay came from our man Russell Olson.
