Rep. Bob Nonini, R-Coeur d’Alene, asked unanimous consent that the House concur in the amendments the Senate placed on HB 96, the ethanol exemption bill. “The Senate has put a lot of work into these amendments,” Nonini said. “I give them credit for a lot of work and the time they spent on these amendments.” He noted that the first raises Idaho’s gas tax, three cents on July 1 and another three cents a gallon a year later. The second raises DMV fees. No one objected, and the House moved on. But that’s not the end of it; the amended bill still comes up for debate and passage - or other action - in the House.

Interesting. Nonini didn’t even mention that he was against all the gas tax bills, and that he spoke against them, and Otter, so vehemently that he was chided by the Speaker.

So Nonini was against the bill before he was for the bill? Well deserved “crow” for Bob.
