Chairman Larry Kenck of the Idaho Democratic Party comments on the recent profane-laced email sent by President Alex LaBeau of the Idaho Association of Commerce & Industry:

"If folks in Idaho's halls of power act offended by a profane email written by the President of Idaho Association of Commerce and Industry (IACI), they're just faking. Politicos tend to cuss, a lot, when speaking to their peers. But a leaked email from IACI President Alex LaBeau is shocking; not for language that is salty enough to kill a garden slug, but for the content—and the context. The context?

"Mr. LaBeau leads the most powerful business group in Idaho. During the 2014 election, Mr. LaBeau directed IACI's hundreds of thousands to attack Idaho Democratic governor candidate AJ Balukoff. LaBeau likely helped target millions that the Republican Governor’s Association spent to attack Balukoff. The attack ads were either distortions or outright fabrications about an honorable public servant. Also, note that Mr. LaBeau's right-hand, IACI VP Jason Ronk, left IACI to be Otter's 2014 campaign manager. Now, Mr. Ronk is VP of IACI again.

"It is clear Gov. Otter condones these guys—they’re the good ol’ boy network in action." More here.
