The Idaho Statesman introduces a new Opinion Page editor: "Exactly three months to the day was Kevin Richert's last day at the Statesman. Meet Robert Ehlert, the Statesman's new Opinion Page editor. Bob arrived in the Treasure Valley late Monday afternoon and hit the ground running. At dinner that evening, he met Lt. Gov. Brad Little, who was not shy with his opinion regarding our editorial pages. Bob attended the annual Boise Rotary Century Scholars event meeting Tuesday night, talking to students and community leaders. Bob is an accomplished writer and editor, named one of three finalists for the 1989 Pulitzer Prize in Newspaper Feature Writing while at the Minneapolis Star-Tribune for a series about a priest who abused young boys all over the Upper Midwest."

Question: Is it an advantage/disadvantage for an editorial writer to move into Idaho?
