this was in my morning outofthebluetn.com email.
The municipal-school-district bill that stumbled in a state House subcommittee on Capitol Hill in Nashville last week will move on to the full Education Committee, but - and it's a real "but" - the legislators who passed it forward Wednesday in the Education general subcommittee, both Democrats and Republicans, made it clear they had doubts about it and would expect a full vetting.
In fact, Rep. Richard Montgomery (R-Sevierville), the Education chairman, granted a request by Rep. Lois DeBerry (D-Memphis) for a full hearing on the bill, complete with "experts" on all sides of the issue and promised "whatever sufficient time we can agree on" for the process.
The measure (Senate Bill 2908; House Bill 3234) would lift the existing ban on new municipal school districts in Tennessee , not just in Shelby County as provided for in last year's Norris-Todd bill, and would advance the date of eligibility from August 2013, as specified in Norris-Todd, to January 1, 2013.
Re: Nitaw
with that development, norris decided to get an amendment on a senate bill that would do this. that amendment will bypass the house ed committee since the house companion bill is scheduled for a floor vote next week. basically norris just said fluck all of yall and will get this done. i bet mccormick withdraws the bill mentioned in outofthebluetn because of what happened last night.
folks are pissed down here. good and pissed.
