Idaho Falls Post Register editorial: "State Treasurer Ron Crane, Idaho’s craftiest politician, recently issued a news release celebrating that a few of the open sores accumulated during his 16 years in office have been “satisfactorily closed.” Those issues — charging taxpayers for fuel burned on his work commute, diverting state funds without legislative approval to a conference run by his nonprofit and squiring lawmakers and their spouses through Manhattan in limos — were unnecessary and entirely of Crane’s creation. So yes, congratulations Mr. Crane, three of the skeletons in your closet finally have been ground into dust. Which brings us to a fourth issue: The small matter of legislative auditors telling us Crane overrode internal controls and lost millions of taxpayer dollars through “inappropriately transferred investments … resulting in a disproportionate share of investment losses incurred by the state."

Question: Are you paying attention to the state treasurer's race, where the Republican incumbent has a lot of explaining to do?
