Huckleberries Hears …
... That Matt Roetter is about to become the latest victim of the takeover of the Kootenai County Republican Central Committee by supporters of state Rep. Phil Hart. At a Central Committee meeting Tuesday night, Chairwoman Tina Jacobson, who has substituted for Hart in the state Legislature, sought and received the votes for a motion to send Roetter a letter demanding his resignation as the state committeeman. Roetter angered Jacobson earlier this month at an executive board meeting when he refused to support Hart as a result of his tax problems. You read about it earlier on Huckleberries Online. Roetter was backing the attempt by write-in candidate Howard Griffiths to put his literature at a Repubican event a few days later, noting that Griffiths had been a Republican his entire life while Hart had switched from being a Constitutionalist simply to get elected. The Central Committee apparently will vote on Roetter's ouster, if he refuses to agree to the demand to step down.
