SPS 2013: Congressional Debate on Legislation Drafted by Mock Political Action Committees

Senator Odria rises to make a point in debate

This afternoon the St. Albans School of Public Service class of 2013 took part in the final curricular activity of the 2013 session: a Congressional-style debate on the legislation proposed by the mock political action committees.  The "Senate" Chamber was hopping!  The SPS Class of 2013 looks to have a future in politics, should they so choose, judging by the high quality of today's debate.
