Hobnobbing With U.S. Sen. Crapo

State Sen. Kathy Sims, R-Coeur d'Alene, hobnobs with U.S. Sen. Mike Crapo after Crapo speech to Kootenai County Republican Women Thursday.  Sims, owner of Coeur d'Alene Honda, is known for her opposition to the Lake City Development Corp. When last we saw her in public, she was denouncing Mayor Sandi Bloem and the Coeur d'Alene City Council for imagined conflicts of interest on proposed McEuen Field changes. She was proven wrong. Crapo, meanwhile, is a member of the "Gang of 6" which is trying to resolve our nation's debt crisis. Crapo discussed his work at a townhall meeting at North Idaho College. Story here.

Question: What do you think Crapo and Sims were discussing?
