Without suspending rules or taking up the liquor license bill, the House has adjourned for the day, a full hour before noon in the Mountain time zone. "We're way ahead," said House Speaker Lawerence Denney, who said the House didn't suspend rules to do more because the Senate wasn't doing so. "I think we need to have some discussions," Denney said. Looking at what awaits on the House calendar, Denney said, "We could finish everything we've got today." But, he said, "I've learned to roll with what we do here ... take small steps. We're one day closer to adjournment."

That left House members milling around. There are just two House committee meetings scheduled today. The Senate is still going, but skipped over a controversial bill on education cuts, HB 262.
