Now there's a delay, and Occupy Boise supporters are milling around in the House State Affairs hearing room. Committee Chairman Tom Loertscher, R-Iona, said the committee's report must be sent up to be read across the desk when the House reconvenes in a few minutes, and only after than can members come back and restart their meeting. "If we don't do it right, we get in trouble," he said. "We need to make sure we do things right here. The courts don't smile on us violating our own procedures."
