Eye On Boise: No Crackdown on Senate Freeloaders
Sen. Jeff Siddoway, R-Terreton, just rose on the floor of the Senate to announce that he has a list of senators who haven’t paid their Senate lunchroom fees, and as of tomorrow, their names will be posted in the lunchroom and they’ll “no longer be welcome there.” A few minutes later, Senate Majority Leader Bart Davis said, “The statement made by the senator from 35 will not be enforced,” and all senators are still welcome in their lunchroom, even if they’re slow with their payment. Asked about it afterward, Siddoway said, “I was just kidding – they’re just about all paid up.”
