Popkey: Speaker plans apology to caucus over redistricting mess

House Speaker Lawerence Denney plans to gather the House GOP caucus this week and both apologize and explain his actions in trying to boot longtime GOP lawmaker Dolores Crow off the state's citizen redistricting commission, reports Idaho Statesman columnist Dan Popkey, who writes in his Sunday column that Denney's "miscalculation has the feel of a last straw," opening the door to challenges to his leadership post, which he's held for six years.
