Legislative limerick: Not sine die yet…

Sen. Shawn Keough, R-Sandpoint, presides over the Idaho Senate on Monday, March 26, 2018; while the Senate convened at 1 p.m., the House is off until Tuesday. Both houses have delayed their final adjournment to wait to see whether Gov. Butch Otter vetoes any of the bills they've sent to his desk. (The Spokesman-Review / Betsy Z. Russell)

The fences, they haven’t been mended

The end’s still in doubt

All progress now is suspended.
