Edit: Wasting $$$ Hiring Bad Advice

Nobody in the Idaho Legislature says Attorney General Lawrence Wasden is giving them bad advice. They just don't agree with the good advice Wasden's giving them. So rather than heed what Wasden is telling them, these lawmakers want to squander your money buying bad advice. Then they intend to waste more of your money following this bad advice. Finally, they lose even more of your money when the bad lawyering backfires on them. That's right. The same lawmakers who slashed spending on schools, higher education and health care during the Great Recession and have yet to restore those cuts now have $200,000 to hire their own lawyers. In the House, their plan passed on a party-line vote/Marty Trillhaase, Lewiston Tribune. More here.

Question: Are you satisfied with the job Lawrence Wasden has done as attorney general?
