Bailey Powell clash marks tense House Education panel vote
In a closed session of the House Education Committee, Rep. Ratley and Rep. Powell clashed over a proposed antisegregation amendment to a federal school construction bill. The testy exchange, seen by many as foreshadowing later House disputes, followed Powell’s vow to offer the amendment from the floor as a moral and legal response to the Supreme Court integration ruling. The panel then moved toward final approval of a four year, 1.6 billion dollar federal state program to address classroom shortages.
