"Two competing bills shaping the state’s plan for Race to the Top money received positive votes in the Assembly Education Committee on Wednesday. But only one will move forward to a full vote of the Assembly, set for today.
Education Committee Chairwoman Julia Brownley’s ABX5-8 was voted 10-6 and moved on. It would have been surprising if it didn’t.
The vote on Sen. Gloria Romero’s SBX5-1 was 6-5. But with six Assembly members abstaining or not present to vote, it was three votes sort of a majority. Romero� immediately charged that the “bill was killed by silence.”"
