Lawmakers awaiting governor’s speech
Legislators and onlookers have been filing in to the BSU Special Events Center, milling around and waiting for the governor’s State of the State speech. First, a note on the time stamps that appear on these blog posts – they’re in Pacific time, as are our newspaper’s servers. But the speech is happening in the Mountain time zone. So if the time stamp says an item was posted at 2 p.m., it’s actually 3 p.m. in Boise, which is when the speech starts. Now, the House has been called to order in this unusual theater setting, the roll has been called, and the joint session is beginning.
