HIGH-FLYING EAGLES

House lawmakers want to create a special license plate commemorating the centennial anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America in 2010.

Rep. Kent Lambert projected a photo in the House chamber showing the legislature's six - count 'em! - six Eagle Scouts: Lambert, Rep. Terrance Carroll, Rep. Paul Weissmann, Rep. Larry Liston, Sen. John Morse and Sen. David Schultheis.

"This is a definite rogues' gallery," Lambert joked, comparing the image to a post office wanted poster.
