With Todd out for surgery, House leadership plans to force vouchers through

Republican leaders in the House plan on capitalizing on Rep. Curry Todd's surgery and a reshuffling of members to push a long-debated school voucher bill through a key finance committee Wednesday morning.

"You have the committee just where you need them. One in the hospital, threw two off," House Minority Leader Craig Fitzhugh said to fellow members Tuesday afternoon when House Finance Committee Chairman Charles Sargent told subcommittee members at a committee pre-meeting that the voucher bill would come up for a vote.
