Shella noted he was starting a renovation of the Speaker's office as well. <BR/>Shella:<BR/>"House Speaker Brian Bosma told reporters today that he doesn't know how much is being spent on legal fees to fight a Federal ruling on prayer in the House.

I don't know what the financial arrangement is for his services, or whether that comes out of the House's budget or the AG's budget.Gary R.
