Oliver Addresses Reagan Republicans

Neil Oliver, chairman of the Kootenai County Republican Central Committee (standing), waits in the wings as Jeff Ward introduces him to speak at the Reagan Republicans at Fedora's this afternoon. Responding to one question, Oliver said he supported the Idaho GOP platform that calls for repeal of the 17th amendment, the amendment that allows American citizens to vote directly for U.S. senators rather than allow them to be chosen by the legislature of each state.

Question: Do you support the repeal of the 17th Amendment?
