Another odd moment…

There was another odd moment during this afternoon’s Senate Transportation Committee meeting when Sen. Diane Bilyeu, D-Pocatello, asked ITD official Alan Frew, “Why bring in such a big bill at the end of the session?” Frew reddened, and suggested to Chairman John McGee, R-Caldwell, “I suppose this is my fault for having forgot about the bill?” McGee, who’s had the ITD fee-increase bill since the start of the session but has kept it in his desk drawer before deciding only now to bring it out, said, “The chairman determines when bills will be heard.”
