Wrap: House Majority Leader commended bill sponsor Representative David Wood for him sponsoring the transfers bill, but said the legislature has "swung and missed" many times when trying to tackle the school transfers problem and he wants to see that stop.
Rep. David Wood, R-Versailles, sponsored the bill and said this year's bill is much better than last year's bill which Gov. Jay Nixon had vetoed because it provided a means by which public education funds could be used to pay tuition for students in private schools.
