Lawmakers celebrate end of 88-day session
Once the House had adjourned, Speaker Scott Bedke invited everyone – including Gov. Butch Otter, the press, staffers and others – to a cake reception in the speakers’ office, and representatives, family members and others filled the hallways, talking and enjoying their cake. Bedke told the House amid laughter, “You’re all welcome to come to the speaker’s office and eat in the majority leader’s office."
