After their hour-long caucus, which ran through the lunch hour, House Republican leaders said they’re still planning to try to unilaterally adjourn for the session tonight - possibly as late as 10 p.m. “We’re moving ahead with our plan to get done with our agenda today and sine die,” said House Majority Caucus Chairman Ken Roberts, R-Donnelly. He said there may be yet another Ways & Means Committee meeting later in the afternoon, after the 2:30 session on a new election consolidation bill; some new transportation bills could be introduced, he said, but nothing on the gas tax and nothing that affects the plans to adjourn tonight. “We’re trying to get some of these things drafted, and this takes some time,” he said.
