Numbers and dates on the foundation budget bills

More on this in a bit, but do note:

• The Joint Committee on Education will be having a hearing on the foundation budget bills on March 22 at 10 am in Gardner Auditorium at the State House. They will be taking public testimony, but note that they take people in the order in which they sign up (except for elected officials). 
• The various bills now have numbers: the PROMISE Act is S238 and H586; Rep. Tucker's House bill is H576; the Governor's (we already knew) was H70. Those links will help you track what is going on with those bills.
