Attorney Debunks Sims’ Arguments
Idaho Falls attorney Steve Taggart, in a column in the Idaho Politics Weekly newsletter that’s published by Zions Bank this week, takes on the main arguments raised against SB 1067, the child support enforcement bill, by Reps. Kathy Sims, Ron Nate and Lynn Luker in recent newspaper op-ed pieces. Going point by point, Taggart finds the arguments misplaced, concluding, “The best public policy debates occur when both sides of the issue make arguments grounded in fact." Among them: Taggart writes that Sims’ contention that the bill could compromise Idaho’s sovereignty by requiring the state “to enforce ill-gotten Child Support Enforcement (CSE) orders made in a foreign country” simply “reflects a fundamental misunderstanding of the how the legal system works”/Betsy Russell, Eye on Boise.

Question: I've been gone on vacation for a week. Has there been any movement by Gov. Otter to call the Legislature back into session to fix the mess created by Sims & Co.?
