Senate Majority Leader Bart Davis has a list of issues he would hope to see accomplished in the 2008 session. A meaningful solution to Idaho's transportation problems. A repeal of the personal property tax. A grocery tax reduction. Progress on state employee pay.
And a bill to close Idaho's Republican primaries?
"It's not something I wake up every morning thinking about," the Idaho Falls Republican said in a meeting with the Statesman editorial board this afternoon.
Davis isn't the only leading senator to oppose the closed primary bill, style="text-decoration:underline;"> introduced in a Senate committee last week by state GOP Chairman Kirk Sullivan. Senate President Pro Tem Robert Geddes, R-Soda Springs, is turned off by the $800,000 cost.
And on the House side? House Majority Leader Mike Moyle declined to take a position. Why bother? If Senate GOP leaders don't like this bill, chances are Moyle may never see it.

It sounds important until...
you realize how you are bending over backwards to kiss your own butt and few like you.
Silence is the golden egg in an election year
Moyle would rather not voice his opinion than risk political fall-out one way or another. Great "leadership".
He sounds like a chicken instead of a mink farmer, but the real chicken farmer hopefully will take him out this fall.
Silence is ammo...
if you do nothing, it makes no impression on the cat that wants ta mow youse down...
