Idaho Statesman reporter Dan Popkey has a rather stunning story today: Confirmation of Gov. Butch Otter's appointment of Susan Kiebert to the Idaho Judicial Council was pulled from the Senate Judiciary Committee's agenda today because Kiebert, who has been serving pending her Senate confirmation, failed to disclose her 1995 felony conviction. Popkey reports that Kiebert was convicted of making false statements by a federal jury in Pocatello in 1995; she didn't disclose that to Otter on a confirmation form that asked about convictions.

Popkey reports that Kiebert was sentenced to two years of probation, a $2,500 fine and agreed to pay $4,161 in restitution. She paid her assessment and fine and completed her probation in 1998; you can read his full post here.
