House convenes, with third sub rep

The Idaho House has convened for the session, as has the Senate. In the House, the formal announcement of substitutes for the opening of the session included the two previously announced - Julie Chadderdon for her mom, Rep. Marge Chadderdon, R-Coeur d’Alene, and Gayle Batt for Rep. Pat Takasugi, R-Wilder; plus one more: New Rep. Shannon McMillan, R-Kellogg, has named Carole Harwood to be her substitute as the Legislature begins. Mrs. Harwood is the wife of Rep. Dick Harwood, R-St. Maries, who represents the same district as McMillan, whose husband is ill.

Next up, the senators will come to the House for the governor’s State of the State address to a joint session of the Legislature.
