North Idaho senators propose redistricting plan

Two North Idaho state senators have submitted a proposed redistricting plan for North Idaho that would eliminate the oddly shaped District 2, but would also lump two other senators into the same district and force new Rep. Vito Barbieri, R-Dalton Gardens, into a district with two Coeur d’Alene incumbents.

Eye on Boise: Megaloads may take both route options

It’s possible that megaloads of oil equipment bound for the Kearl oil sands development in Canada could take both identified routes through Idaho – scenic U.S. Highway 12, where the extra-wide loads would take up both lanes of the two-lane road, and a Highway 95/Interstate 90 route. Last week, Imperial Oil/ExxonMobil got a favorable ruling from a state hearing officer on its bid to take the loads across Highway 12, its preferred route; it’s also been issued two permits to start bringing reduced-height loads from Lewiston up Highway 95 through Moscow to Coeur d’Alene, then across I-90 to Montana and Canada.

Lawmaker’s behavior has medical cause, lawyer says

BOISE – The lawyer for an Idaho state senator accused of taking an SUV and trailer from a stranger’s home in Boise and driving the vehicle while drunk said Monday there are “medical explanations” for his client’s behavior. Idaho Senate Republican Caucus Chairman John McGee, of Caldwell, was arraigned in Idaho’s 4th District Court on charges of misdemeanor drunken driving and taking a vehicle without the owner’s consent, causing more than $1,000 damage, a felony.

Romney makes fundraising visits

BOISE – Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, who swung through Boise for a private fundraising breakfast Monday, has lined up most of Idaho’s top GOP officials for his campaign’s “Idaho steering committee,” co-chaired by Gov. Butch Otter and U.S. Sen. Jim Risch. The list is so comprehensive that what’s conspicuous is who’s not on it: 1st District GOP Rep. Raul Labrador, who attended the fundraising breakfast but remains undecided in the presidential race, and U.S. Sen. Mike Crapo, who doesn’t endorse because he doesn’t like to “tell people how to vote.”
