Sen. Mel Richardson, R-Idaho Falls, has announced that he’ll retire at the end of his current term, his 10th in the Legislature. Richardson, who served two terms in the House and then eight in the Senate, said, “After 20 years, it’s just time. Health wise, everything is great. I just felt like there are people who’d like a turn. I’m announcing it now so that people who would like to get in can run.” Some capitol denizens already have tasted Richardson’s retirement cake – because he announced his retirement back in 2002, and appeared to be leaving, but then decided to run again after all. This time, Richardson, a longtime radio broadcaster, said it’s for real. Click below to read the full announcement.
