Quotable Quote — 8.27.14

Every year I grow the "Legislature" beard. I hope that the ratty follicle mess on my face will help accelerate their work towards Sine Die. The gavel drops on adjournment and I pick up the razor -- MBrowning.

DFO: I expect the 2015 Legislature to provide the biggest circus atmosphere of my 30 years in Coeur d'Alene. First, there's a good chance that 8 or our 9 Kootenai County legislators will be vocal Tea-Publicans. Second, we're in an off year. So lawmakers don't have to worry about facing voters in November 2015 after a misstep or sponsorship of bad legislation. Actually, I'm looking forward to the train wreck. How about you?
