Day 6--Last Day!

Our last caucus meeting saw us finish the last of the 87 NBIs before 8AM! There were some final announcements and then at 8:45 we lined the sidewalks with our posters amidst the news cameras as 100 members of the delegation joined the leadership in walking to the governor's SD office--they couldn't get a parade permit so the smaller group walked it. The final day of the RA began and we discussed issues from supporting Honduran teachers, to sanitary classrooms, to ELL issues, to the Employee Free Choice Act, etc. We finished the 87th NBI at 5:35 and are now on to the budget. I'll update tomorrow from home but what a wonderful, moving, educational experience this has been!
