BOISE — On the 114th day of the sec- ond-longest Legislative session ever, GOP Senate and House leaders called an after- noon discussion with Gov. C.L. “Butch” Otter productive, but said disclosing any details could jeopardize the progress made. “We kind of have a blackout of informa- tion if you haven’t noticed,” GOP Caucus Beyond Chairman Ken Roberts, R-Donnelly, said after deflecting questions in his office. “We’re optimistic. There’s discussions going on to bring the session to a close.” It’s a distinct change of direction from the past couple of weeks, during which House Republicans staged a loud and pub- lic campaign pushing their agenda to end the 2009 session. The four-member the bars House GOP leadership issued statements, held news conferences and last Wednesday led an unsuccessful attempt on the floor to adjourn. The House returned Monday, having no choice under the Constitution. On Tuesday, House Republicans were atypi- cally silent. “I’m not giving you any comments. I’m not telling you anything we’re doing,” House Assistant Majority Leader Scott Bedke, R-Oakley, said. “That was the way we left it … We don’t want to get anyone’s hopes up.”
