Both houses at ease for chairmanship and committee assignments…

With seat selection completed in both houses, both the Idaho House and Senate have gone at ease for the assignment of committees and selection of chairmen. That’s a process that could take all day; there’s no set time for either house to return to the floor, and meetings already have begun between legislative leaders and various members to work those matters out. House Speaker Scott Bedke, R-Oakley, said he’s confident the House will finish the task today; if either house didn’t, it could go into tomorrow as well.
