Lawmakers Near Final Adjournment In Idaho
The target date for final adjournment remains elusive as Ada County legislators face a $10 daily salary through the constitution until Friday and then only expense money. Outside county members get $35 daily. Democrats push governor's programs while the House kills the Senate landlord tenant act and defeats collective bargaining for public employees, with no clear end in sight.

Recall Law Bill Sent By Idaho House Panel
The House State Affairs Committee sent to the floor a bill to tighten the recall law and extend it to the district court clerk. It reduces signature gathering to 60 days, sets a recall election 30 to 40 days after petition perfection, and requires a vote at least equal to the officer’s last general election tally to recall. Petitions with insufficient signatures are not returned, and the same reason cannot trigger a second recall in the same term. The changes arise from past failed recall efforts against State Rep Patricia L. McDermott D Pocatello, the current minority leader.
