Barker: Idaho Pols Will Take Fed $$$
Republican Senate President Pro Tem Bob Geddes, is like a lot of Idahoans today. His retirement plans were changed when his “401 K turned into a 201 K plan.” He thinks too much spending, not just by government but by many of us who overextended our credit, is what put us in this place. So he’s very skeptical that spending will get us out. But he resented the suggestions that these views meant he and other state leaders wouldn’t spend the money if it came or that they would be hypocrites to spend it/Rocky Barker, Idaho Statesman. More here.
Question: Are Idaho political leaders being hypocritical by stating their opposition to the stimulus package while being willing to spend the money coming to the state?
