Rammell: I’m Outta Here

Rex Rammell, unsuccessful candidate for the U.S. Senate, Idaho governor and the Idaho Legislature, and who once joked that Idaho should sell "Obama tags" to hunters, has said he's leaving the Gem State. This morning's Lewiston Tribune reports that Rammell said he plans to move to Torrington, Wyo., next week, when he takes a new veterinary job at the Torrington Livestock Auction. Rammell made the announcement shortly after having four misdemeanor Fish and Game charges dismissed in Idaho County. Rammell had been accused of hunting with a suspended license. He had previously been convicted in 2011 of poaching an elk in Bonneville County. "If I do anything with politics, it won't be in Idaho," Rammell told the Tribune. "I've kind of given up on Idaho, to be right honest with you"/George Prentice, Boise Weekly. More here.
