Short legislative session? Don’t bet on it

Here's a thought. With Republicans in complete control at the Statehouse, and committed to lowering taxes and smaller government, and having a concept of a plan to accomplish both, it should be a slam dunk to wrap up the legislative session in a few weeks, shut the doors and go home — saving taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Here's a bet. The Republicans will drag the session out as always, arguing about petty issues, and collecting their available per diems right down to the last cent.
