Adam’s Blog: Edit Board Interviews Waste Of Time

re: Giving Steven Thayn credit where due /Kevin Richert, Idaho Statesman

It was nice of Thayn to meet with the Board, but I can understand why Bowers didn’t from the perspective of a former candidate. I met with the Statesman board when I ran for the Legislature in 2004 along with my primary opponent, Tom LeClaire and we talked about many issues ranging from education to tax reform during a wide-ranging hour meeting. I wasn’t so much bothered that the Statesman endorsed my opponent, but that it dismissed my candidacy in one paragraph that explained I didn’t support the 2003 Sales Tax Increase, something the Statesman board could have learned by simply reading my response to their questionaire. While the two members of the Statesman board I met with were professional, I left feeling as if my time had been wasted/ Adam Graham , Adam’s Blog. More here
