2014 Legislature May End Today

This year’s legislative session may well end today. “Mr. President, senators, let’s go home today,” Senate Majority Leader Bart Davis, R-Idaho Falls, told the Senate this morning. “Let’s go home today. It’s doable.” He said he’s visited with his House counterpart, House Majority Leader Mike Moyle, R-Star, and “he joins in sharing that optimism.” The House has a considerably longer calendar to take up today, including lots of budget bills. “I’d like to try to do it today,” Moyle told Eye on Boise. “We’ll see what happens. If not, we can finish up tomorrow. We’re on track.” Davis said the Senate will need to handle 26 or possibly 27 different pieces of legislation today to finish up/Betsy Russell, Eye on Boise.

DFO: Another winter of legislative incompetence may soon be over.

Question: Wouldn't it be a good idea if we fired most of these guys every two years?
