Following the House defeat of the transportation bill, the House went at ease at Rep. Bob Nonini, R-Coeur d'Alene, was presented with the "crow" to commemorate carrying a bill that receives fewer than 20 votes. Then, Rep. Dennis Lake, R-Blackfoot, noted that a century mark is being commemorated today - the legislative session's 100th day. House Assistant Sergeant at Arms Al Noyes displayed to the House a large cake noting the occasion, with candles on it burning brightly. "Mr. Speaker, I hope that the next 100 days go faster than the first 100 days," House Majority Caucus Chairman Ken Roberts, R-Donnelly, told the House, to which Rep. Wendy Jaquet, D-Ketchum, responded, "that's horrible!"
