Chief justice on redistricting: ‘We’re workin’ on it’

Idaho Statesman reporter Dan Popkey reports that as Idaho Supreme Court Chief Justice Roger Burdick visited the Statehouse today, he indicated the court will have something to say soon on the ongoing redistricting dispute. "We're workin' on it," Burdick told Popkey. "That's all a guy can say." You can read Popkey's full post here; House Speaker Lawerence Denney and Idaho GOP Chairman Norm Semanko have sued Idaho Secretary of State Ben Ysursa, demanding that the high court order Ysursa to declare two vacancies on the citizen redistricting commission so Denney and Semanko can replace two GOP members. The commission is scheduled to reconvene tomorrow morning.
