Asked what happens next on the gas tax, House Speaker Lawerence Denney told Eye on Boise, “I don’t know, I really don’t. I think the governor has made his case that we do need increased funding, and I think a case has been made here that now is not the time.” If Gov. Otter “wants to take another shot at it, I suspect he has ways” of making lawmakers stay in town to consider it, Denney said. “Personally, I think we’d all be better served to just give up on it and go home, and if the economy turns around, we can deal with it next session. Or he can even call us into special session and say, ‘Your argument’s gone, let’s go.’ “
