What I have learned from Senator Cameron

 This week that changed with the departure of Cameron, who will be joining Gov. Butch Otter's administration as the director of the Idaho Department of Insurance.

Cameron will be an asset to an executive branch too often plagued by incompetence, if not corruption. He is a well-established insurance expert and has a proven record of making government more efficient and effective. Hopefully his advice will be sought on issues far outside of those officially under his oversight.

As JFAC co-chair, Cameron will be replaced by the only Idaho elected official I respect more: North Idaho Sen. Shawn Keough. More here.
