OutCue: SOC

In a 4-2 vote, the MOHELA board has voted to toss the asset sale into the hands of next year's legislative session.

Blunt's announcement Monday that he supports the need in the issue for legislative approval was vague but echoed in the written agreement. 

House democrat Clint Zweifel says you can never tell where science will lead a society.

 

Actuality:  ZWEI06.WAV
Run Time: 00:10
Description: "To make some announcement now on a plan in 2006 about what type of research should be conducted in that building 20 or 30 years from now is poor public policy."

 

The board chairwoman was one of the two no-votes.

From the state capitol, I'm Hillari Duthoo.
