Kenck: GOP Scrambling To Cover Tails

Idaho Democratic Party Chairman Larry Kenck has sent out a statement about the upcoming special session of the Idaho Legislature, writing, “The ‘You Just Can’t Make This Up’ Caucus is scrambling to justify the blunder that threatened $205 million in child support for Idaho kids.” You can read the full statement here. “Idahoans are fed up with broken promises and dishonest distractions,” Kenck writes. “As to child support in Idaho, (Rep. Lynn) Luker and his peers broke it and the public demands that they fix it. We know that. We won’t thank them for their vigilance against cockeyed conspiracy theories. … We know who to hold to account”/Betsy Russell, Eye on Boise. More here.

Question: Izzit just me, or is there a co-dependence thing going on here. GOP legislative leaders refuse to call Gov. Otter out on such fiascoes as the private prison and school broadband. And Otter reciprocates by not denouncing the goofs that voted in the 9-8 majority in  the House Judiciary & Rules Committee against Child Support Enforcement legislation?
