Rusche: Dems rescued crisis center

In a Huckleberries Online comment, House Minority Leader John Rusche posts:

"The Democrats of Northern Idaho worked with law enforcement, H&W, GOP moderates, and others to convince the legislators not from your area to vote for it in enough volume to overcome the local naysayers. This is just a small part of the Behavioral health system missing in Idaho. It should divert from jails and ERs. But it is a good step, no matter what IFF (Idaho Freedom Foundation) thinks."

Question: Are you as delighted as I am that we have such a distinguished commenter as House Minority Leader John Rusche among us. I don't think he's one of us pigs, though. Thoughts?
