JF: No End Of Arrogance For Denney

Something is ripe, overripe actually, in the House, but it’s not legislation. It is the attitude by Denney and his fellow House leaders that they are the ringmasters of the circus into which they have turned the legislative branch. They decide which issues are decided in the House, to the point that committee chairmen have to ask Majority Leader Mike Moyle whether to hold hearings on certain bills. And they decide there will be no compromise with the governor of their own party or with the Senate dominated by members of their own party/Jim Fisher, Lewiston Tribune. More here .

• One gay rights status report /Randy Stapilus
• 2 unknowns in Transportation deal /Kevin Richert
• Misinformed hate /Political Game
• Could they make the commercials any louder?/ 2C Etc.

Question: When all is said and done at the 2009 Idaho Legislature, will Gov. Butch Otter be stronger politically? Weaker? The same?
