Baptism Of Fire For Frosh Solons

Idaho’s freshmen lawmakers hit the trifecta this year, experiencing their first legislative session as well as a rare conference committee, and capping it off with an even rarer special session Monday. “It’s historic. What an interesting introduction for a freshman,” said Rep. Caroline Troy, R-Genesee, one of 18 newcomers elected to the Idaho Legislature last year. The 89-day regular session adjourned April 11, about 12 hours after a joint House-Senate conference committee reached an agreement on transportation funding. That was the first conference committee called since 2007. It was followed by just the fourth special session in the past 25 years and the first to be held since 2006. Monday’s one-day meeting was needed to approve legislation that brings Idaho into compliance with federal child support requirements/ William L. Spence , Lewiston Tribune. More here .

Question: Was there a freshman legislator from North Idaho who met the challenge of a historic legislative season?
