BonnerCo R’s: Fiesta? No Way, Jose

The Sandpoint Reader reports that the Bonner County Republican Central Committee doesn't like the Bonner County Fair theme, "Fiesta."  They R's have gone so far as to write the Arizona Governor asking her for Arizona license plates to decorate their fair booth with. Here is the text of their letter as printed in the Reader: "At the June Meeting of the Bonner County Republican Central Committee of Bonner County, Idaho, the membership voted to affirm your new law on illegal immigration and to make a statement at the Bonner County Fair by displaying evidence of our support.  The theme of this year's fair is the Spanish word for "celebration:" "fiesta".  The Republicans at BCRCC want to make it very clear that English is our primary language, and call our booths "Celebrate!" and display some Arizona license plates if you have some to spare.  Please let us know where we might obtain a couple.  Our fair happens the last week of August." It is signed by Chairman Cornel Rasor, who is also a County Commissioner. (SR file photo for illustrative purposes)
