House Speaker Lawerence Denney has handed the gavel over to House Majority Leader Mike Moyle, as Denney is sponsoring a bill that's coming up fairly soon on the House calendar, HR 2, making changes in the House's ethics rules. Before he left the speaker's desk, he appeared to be looking over a printout of the roll call from the vote on the motion to call HB 57 out of the Ways & Means Committee, on which at least two Republicans joined Democrats, though the move fell far short. Denney took the printout with him to his seat on the House floor. Asked if there are consequences in store for the Republicans who broke ranks on that vote, Denney said, "Probably not - I just wanted to know." According to the roll call, GOP Reps. Jeff Nesset of Lewiston and Tom Trail of Moscow were among those supporting the motion.
