That was the issue that District 17 legislators grappled with during a legislative forum held Saturday morning. Freshmen State Reps. Ray Ring, Vermillion (D), Nancy Rasmussen, Hurley (R) and Sen. Tom Jones, Viborg (D) addressed a large audience during the two-hour meeting held in Vermillion City Hall meeting chambers. The event was sponsored by the Legislative Affairs Committee of the Vermillion Chamber of Commerce and Development Company (VCDC), the VFW Auxiliary, the Clay County Democrats and the Clay County Republicans. Ring noted that school sentinel legislation – HB 1087 – had been approved by the state House just days earlier on Jan. 29, and is scheduled to now be heard by a Senate committee.
