With the Idaho Legislature having maintained all year that it would be done by March 24 – that’s this past Friday – two House members had plans and couldn’t be here this week, so they’ve named substitutes. This morning, House Speaker Scott Bedke swore in Brooke Green, to sub for Rep. Ilana Rubel, D-Boise, who is in Hawaii; and Mitch Minnette, to sub for Rep. Robert Anderst, who had a long-planned family commitment.

In the Senate, Troy Rohn has been named to sub for Sen. Cherie Buckner-Webb, D-Boise; and Sen. Jeff Siddoway, R-Terreton, also has named a sub for the Senate’s final days, Joni Burtenshaw.
