Arpie: 2015 Legislature Will Be Doozy

Arpie (RE: Bonner County GOP messed up, too): "I think one just needs to look at last summer's GOP convention to see where we are heading as a state. Things will be worse at the legislature this year than last. Souza, and the folks we'll elect next week from district one, Heather Scott and Sage Dixon, will insure that. They don't know how to get along with people. Then they say they are standing on principle as things fall apart around them. What good does that do anybody?"

DFO: I agree with Arpie. The 2015 Legislature will be the worst one of my 32 years in Idaho. Why? The Far Right ideologues have expanded their base -- and they don't have to worry about their loose lips because they don't have to face election next year. You'll see bad law proposed after bad law. And more missteps than you can find in a Sherri Ybarra campaign because there's no consequences. The inmates will be running the ship from top to bottom. It'll be a train wreck. But wonderful, I suppose, for fodder here at Huckleberries.
