Dvorak landed in wrong airport

In a weekend editorial, Opinion Editor Marty Trillhaase of the Lewiston Tribune comments:

Todd Dvorak's mistake was picking the wrong airport. Had Dvorak flown home to Boise last Friday from Spokane rather than Lewiston, he would not be facing a marijuana possession charge -- and he'd still be working as Idaho Attorney General Lawrence Wasden's spokesman. None of that, of course, excuses the poor judgment that got him in hot water. Dvorak was the face of Idaho's top law enforcement official. When you serve at the pleasure of the elected attorney general and get charged with a crime - any crime - you don't wait for a conviction or acquittal. You walk away for the good of the office. To Dvorak's credit, he resigned/Marty Trillhaase, Lewiston Tribune. More here.
