Seems Senate Majority Leader Bart Davis is turning the screws on our North Idaho senators re. his shameless attempt to close more committee meetings. He brought the hammer down on our small flock of five sheep after getting word that the SR was polling our delegates to see where they stand on closed meetings. On the House side, Rep. Jim Clark told Erica Curless he couldn't talk about the issue because there's pending litigation. Baa. Baa. (I can't recall when Jim's ever been bashful about taking on leadership and talking.) On the Senate side, new Senate sheep Joyce Broadsword (pictured) slapped a "no comment" on Erica. Amazing but true. One minute, these guys do anything for your vote; then, when they go to Boise, they fall in line behind tin gods, like Davis, who are trying to do the public's work in secret. F'shame.

You can find a copy of Erica's e-mail, including questions to the legislators, here.
