From ibj.com:
The leader of House Democrats who left Indiana over bills they disagreed with has returned to the state and met with the Republican House speaker — but their talks ended with no agreement on ending the weeklong Statehouse standoff.
House Minority Leader Patrick Bauer drove back from Illinois and met with Speaker Brian Bosma for 50 minutes Wednesday in the GOP leader’s Statehouse office. Bauer had two other House Democrats with him in the meeting, which also was attended by four other majority Republicans.
Most House Democrats have been staying in Urbana, Ill., since last Tuesday, when they began boycotting the House to derail labor and education bills they’re against by denying the House the quorum needed to conduct business. The boycott already killed a “right-to-work” bill that unions opposed.
