The Senate has adjourned for the day, after amending two bills, and passing and sending to the governor 18 appropriation bills that had already passed the House. Senate Majority Leader Bart Davis, R-Idaho Falls, said leadership will be meeting with the governor shortly. “Hopefully we can make progress today, and this afternoon, we certainly hope our friends in the body across the rotunda are willing to sit down with us, and hopefully resolve the impasse that currently exists,” he told the Senate. Meanwhile, the Senate Finance Committee has scheduled a 2 p.m. meeting, the Joint Legislative Oversight Committee will hold its final meeting at 3:30 in Room 145 of the Capitol Annex, and the House GOP leadership has scheduled a press conference for 3 p.m.

I’m having a tough time understanding why we have a “Rainy Day” fund. If there is ever going to be a time when the fund should be tapped, it is now. How much economic “rain” needs to come down before the idiots in our legislature see the light? If not now, then the fund should be unfunded.
By the way, my dog could run in Idaho with an R behind his name and get elected!
