In a weekend editorial, Opinion Editor Marty Trillhaase of the Lewiston Tribune comments:

Finally, it looks like Idaho lawmakers are about to fix the child support enforcement mess they left behind just before adjourning for the year. Gov. C.L. (Butch) Otter has called them back for a special session, set for May 18.That would indicate Otter has lined up the votes to bring the state's child support enforcement mechanism into compliance with federal law - and the 2007 Hague Convention on International Recovery of Child Support and Family Maintenance. By a 9-to-8 margin, members of the House Judiciary and Rules Committee tabled a bill to do just that. If not corrected by June 12, the action will sever Idaho from the federal databases needed to collect and distribute about $205 million on which about 183,000 Idaho children depend. One by one, the arguments against correcting that error have been debunked. More here.

Question: Do you think Gov. Otter or Idaho legislators pay attention to the New York Times or Washington Post editorial pages?
