Yes, the Great Nonini (pictured) helped lead his fellow House members to reject several attempts to raise the state gas tax Tuesday, telling them the department to which the money would go is "dysfunctional," and besides, Idaho's roads don't need it. Sure, Gov. Butch Otter and the Idaho Transportation Board say the state has a $240 million backlog in road and bridge maintenance, and that work not done now will require taxpayers to spend more later. But Nonini knows better. How? He's driven on some Idaho roads. Why, only last weekend, he drove U.S. Highway 95 from Boise to Coeur d'Alene, and he could tell from his car that it's in fine shape/Jim Fisher, Lewiston Tribune. More here.

Question: How would you rate the performance this session of state Rep. Bob Nonini, R-Post Falls?
