Senate Majority Leader Bart Davis, R-Idaho Falls, asked if lawmakers made any progress today on the big issues holding up the end of this year’s over-long session, said shortly, “No.” Said Davis, “I’d love to be done by Wednesday - I just don’t believe we will be.” Asked about the talk about the governor giving in on transportation funding, Davis said, “That’s not what he told me at noon.” Davis said when he and other senators met with the governor at noon today, “He indicated to us that he still needed to have ongoing transportation funding along the lines of what he supported last week.” Asked about the events of today, the session’s 106th day, Davis said they were “bizarre.” And as for the House introducing a new education funding bill today, he said, “I don’t know what they’re up to.”

GOP leadership likes to say the long length of the session is due to figuring out the stimulus impact but the transportation maintenance issue has nothing to do with federal $$. They and the governor are simply incompetent.
