Idaho Press Tribune:
House debates HB 296, the hastily introduced 'trailer' bill on initiatives

Excerpt: Rep. Brooke Green, D-Boise, noted how quickly the bill was introduced yesterday, in a hastily called meeting, never announced on the floor of the House, without notice to the crowd waiting in the House gallery at the time to hear the House debate an initiatives bill, or even to one of the Democratic members of the committee that was meeting; Rep. Elaine Smith was in a meeting down the hall, and didn't know about the Ways & Means Committee meeting until it was over. "Yesterday's action was not a true reflection of how we in this body are transparent to the public," Green said.
