House Republicans emerged from their closed-door caucus without a lot to say. “We’re working on a plan to get this session adjourned and go home,” said Majority Caucus Chairman Ken Roberts, R-Donnelly. “We’re still working on it.” The House Ways & Means Committee will meet this afternoon, Roberts said, and the House today will go to its amending order to amend legislation. House Assistant Majority Leader Scott Bedke, R-Oakley, said he thought the statement House GOP leaders issued on Friday - in which they said they won’t support a gas tax increase this year - speaks for itself. “There’s nothing that should keep us here past Wednesday,” he said, to which House Speaker Lawerence Denney, R-Midvale, added, “I absolutely agree with that.”
