First, the Bonner County Republican Central Committee passed a resolution supporting Rep. Heather Scott, R-Blanchard, and asking that her committee assignments be reinstated, after they were revoked following her disparaging comments about other female House members, suggesting that they only advance in leadership through sexual favors. That resolution was issued last Tuesday, a day before Scott issued a statement apologizing to every member of the House. Then, the Madison County Republican Central Committee met on Friday, and had a discussion about one of its local representatives, Rep. Ron Nate, R-Rexburg, joining four others last week in asking to have his committee assignments revoked as well, in solidarity with Scott/Betsy Russell, Eye on Boise. More here.
