Indiana Statehouse focus now on schools

Kevin Allen:

Labor bills and union protesters drew most of the attention at the Indiana Statehouse last week, as Democrats in the House of Representatives walked out and headed to Illinois to block Republicans from conducting business.

But the other half of the stalemate is over wide-ranging education reform that could change where Indiana children go to school, how their teachers are evaluated, and the formula for funding the system that uses about half of Hoosiers' state tax dollars.

Democrats say Republicans are trying to dismantle public education. Republicans say Democrats are just protecting teachers unions.
