Senate Majority Leader Bart Davis, R-Idaho Falls, asked what he felt came out of the joint leadership meeting with the governor this morning, said, “We didn’t make any progress yet today.” Senate leaders joined the meeting for about the final hour, he said. Told that House Speaker Lawerence Denney now intends to adjourn the House sine die today, Davis said, “We’ll continue to, as a Senate, stay here and work on the legislative agenda, and look forward to continuing to work with them on their return.” Meanwhile House leaders closed themselves in the speaker’s office with Ways & Means Chairman Rich Wills and others, and temporarily banned reporters from the hallway outside the office.

Great photo. Sort of captures the essence of Idaho politics - a bunch of old, white men going in the same direction.

Wasted Days and Wasted Nights …..and wasted tax payers money because the Republican Party is as dysfunctional as the Bush Republicans. (I am Republican and these guys are embarrasing or idiots.)
