Rasmussen Won’t Deliver Hart Material

Duane Rasmussen has refused to deliver material for Rep. Phil Hart as he walks his Precinct 19 (Hayden area from Government Way to Hayden Lake, with northern boundary of Dakota Avenue) for other House District 3 candidates. Rasmussen told Huckleberries Online that he wasn't given any literature last night at Republican Party HQ after he made his intentions known. He was told by a Republican leader that the GOP may have to do a literature dump (w/individuals simply dropping material at doorsteps rather than knocking on doors) to ensure that the Hart material is available. Rasmussen told Huckleberries that he considers it "immoral" to include Hart's literature in with that of other Republican candidates in wake of the disclosure this week that Hart had stolen timber from state endowment lands to build his Athol home.
