‘It’s going to force a serious conversation’
Here’s a link to my full story in today’s Spokesman-Review on what happened in the House yesterday, when hours of debate failed to expand a tiny 2-cent gas tax increase bill. Said Rep. Frank Henderson, R-Post Falls, “It’s going to force a serious conversation, so we can go home, so we can satisfy the minimum needs of the department.” Lawmakers would like to finish their session, but transportation is the main issue standing in the way. Today is the 80th day of the legislative session; last year’s session ended on its 87th day, and the 2007 session ended on its 82nd day.
