Senate Leader: No Progress Made

Senate Majority Leader Bart Davis, R-Idaho Falls, said Senate leaders met with the governor today at noon, but didn’t meet with House leaders. “I don’t see that there was progress made,” he said heavily, as the 113th day of this year’s legislative session drew near a close. “The Senate did quite a bit of work today, we passed a slug of bills. … They can all go to the governor for his consideration, and possible veto, though I hope not.” Davis said the current impasse is one “that the House needs to resolve with the governor. I have confidence the governor is willing to negotiate”/ Betsy Russell , Eye On Boise. More here .

• Nonini: ‘Not going to put up with that’
• Guv: ‘We’ll be here ‘til it’s resolved’
• Rusche: ‘You have to bend a little’
• House GOP: ‘Simply not the time’

Question: At this point, do you admire Gov. Otter for his stand on principle during this stalemate? Or consider him bull-headed for not giving in and letting the Legislature adjourn?
