As Idaho’s legislative session dragged through its 81st day Thursday, legislative reporters have donned the traditional ugly ties that signify it’s been long enough. Tradition has it that once reporters have decided it’s time for the session to end, by sporting hideous neckwear they can so disgust and horrify lawmakers that they’ll just want to leave town. Or something like that. Ah, but will it work?

Not too soon Sharon. The ties should be out cause they’re designed to encourage the legislators to go home. Trouble is they’re so far behind that the reporters better have a deep closet.

That’s why it’s too soon. They’re barely starting to hear appropriations bills.
