in another surprise move, Gov: Allen said he wants to return control of classrooms to the teachers and will propose legislation to accomplish this objective.

“I think it’s high time to empower our dedicated and conscientious •teachers and to help them take charge of their classrooms without fear of reprisal or lawsuits,” he said.

After Gov. Allen’s address, Delegate Jay Kaizen, R-31 st District, said he enjoyed Gov. Allen's speech although the day as a whole was a disappointment. Del. Katzen blamed the Democrats in the Senate for causing the problem.

“It was clearly on the majority side of the Senate," he said, adding that no matter what resolution the House passed, Gob. Allen “clearly was not invited.”

Sen. Kevin G. Miller, RHarrisonburg, agreed, saying he approved of the governor’s proposals.

“I think the governor really benefited personally at the expense of the Seriate," he said, suggesting that Gov. Allen preferred to speak one-on-one with Virginians anyway.

Later in the week, the Senate resolved its differences by passing a resolution setting forth rules and procedures for the session, which provides for any legislator to file a bill after the Jan. 23 deadline as long as that legislator has two-thirds of those in the respective house agreeing to it.

In the past, this privilege waS reserved for the governor.
