On tonight’s “Idaho Reports,” I join Jim Weatherby, Bill Dentzer, and co-hosts Aaron Kunz and Melissa Davlin to discuss the events of the 11th week of the legislative session, and to analyze Davlin’s timely interview with Gov. Butch Otter this week, which is featured on the program.

Among the topics addressed: Davlin asks Otter if he’ll call a special session if lawmakers don’t take action on transportation funding before the current legislative session closes. He responds, “I’m not going to go there. I’m not going to threaten anyone with that. I just don’t see us going there, I don’t see that crisis coming. I think we’re going to come up with something, and it’s going to be reasonable, and it’s going to be long-term.”

The hour-long show airs at 8 tonight; after it airs, you can watch it here online any time. It also re-airs Sunday at 10:30 a.m. Mountain time, 9:30 Pacific.
