In the latest development on this weird, wacky and wild 100th legislative day, the House Republican leadership called a press conference for 1 p.m., but when the hour arrived, spokesman Chuck Malloy had to stand up and tell a capacity crowd, "The leadership has been meeting with the governor since about noon - they are still in the meeting. I have no idea how long the meeting will be." At nearly 20 after, word came that the leaders are now on their way.
