It’s been a day of ups and downs at the Idaho Legislature, as the 102nd day of the session draws to an end. Gov. Butch Otter met with lawmakers multiple times throughout the day, but the basic disagreement of the session, on his transportation initiative, remains unresolved; you can read my full story here at spokesman.com. Lawmakers will convene early on Friday morning, and still will be in session next week - though numerous legislators now are having to skip days due to longstanding work commitments, trips and other schedule conflicts. Senate President Pro-tem Bob Geddes, R-Soda Springs, said he’ll be gone all next week; he’s leaving a stack of “pair slips” to register his votes on key issues. He said, “I hope when I come back, the session is over.”
