Legislative Headliners
It's been an eventful session so far, and it's only February. On top of bills to ban texting while driving or tanning while under 18, the Legislature has looked at landowner hunting tags and a bill opening the door to Internet sales tax. Oh, and the Senate Majority lost its caucus chairman to sexual harassment allegations.
To hear what House and Senate leaders think of all this, and what's to come, the Southwest Chapter of the Idaho Press Club is hosting its annual on-the-record Legislative Headliners lunch March 6.
Here are the details:
- What: Legislative Headliners Lunch

- When: Tuesday, March 6. Registration and lunch at 11:45 a.m.; speakers begin promptly at noon.
