Bedke: “People Ready To Go Home’

House Speaker Scott Bedke and Senate President Pro-tem Brent Hill, addressing the Idaho Press Club today, both said they think it’s likely the Legislature can adjourn by the end of March. “I still don’t see anything that should keep us here after the end of the month,” Hill said. “I’m not saying there won’t be something. Two big issues – personal property tax repeal and the state exchanges – they’re going to be voted up or down. And there’s no reason why they can’t get through both bodies in the time we have left, by the end of the month. I don’t see anything there that the governor’s going to start vetoing bills to keep us around to pass. So … I still think we have a good chance of being out”/ Betsy Russell , Eye on Boise.

Question: If the Idaho Legislature adjourned today, without taking any further action, I’d deem this one of the best sessions in recent years. What do you think?
