Nonini, Hart, Harwood Vote Against Human Rights Bill

Issue: House backs human rights: 3 N. Idaho legislators oppose resolution /Betsy Russell, Spokesman-Review

Bob Nonini: “I just think there’s a group of people … that like to keep sore wounds opened up.” Nonini said after the vote. “Those people (the Aryan Nations) have gone away – we don’t talk about it in North Idaho.”

Dick Harwood: “I thought it was a crummy bill – we already got all that stuff in there,” Harwood said. “It was just a feel-good, fuzzy thing.”

Phil Hart: “I don’t think in general we have a problem here. I think it’s just a few isolated groups. … I think if we just ignored it, it would go away, in my opinion, in time.”
