Merrill Ripped For Wasting Toilet $$$

As lawmakers question state Parks Director Nancy Merrill this morning, Rep. Wendy Jaquet, D-Ketchum, said she didn't see anything in the state parks mission about advocacy, and questioned why the department spent $11,000 to send letters to 32,000 registered boaters about the possible closure of the 3rd Street boat launch in Coeur d'Alene. “$11,000 could buy an SST, a 'sweet-smelling toilet' - I remember that number,” Jaquet said. “It just seems like $11,000 you could have used in a different way”/Betsy Russell, SR.

Question: Have you ever been to a public restroom with 'sweet-smelling' toilets?
