For Those Keeping Score At Home …

... Here's the 10 Senate Republicans who voted against the new specialty plate for Friends of the NRA fund-raising purposes: Sens. Bair, Den Hartog, Hill, Johnson, Lee, Martin, McKenzie, Mortimer, Siddoway and  Thayn. I failed to realize that state Sen. Bob Nonini was the Senate sponsor. The House sponsor was newby Rep. Sage Dixon, R-Ponderay. You can read Betsy Russell's story about the 18-15 vote in favor of the Friends of the NRA bill here.

Question: So how many demerits will the 10 Senate Republicans get for not genuflecting to the NRA?
