EOB: Chadderdon Flag Bill Mended

Rep. Marge Chadderdon, R-Coeur d’Alene, says she’s got a new version of her flag bill in the works, after problems cropped up with amendments already made to the bill. Chadderdon originally sought to prohibit state or local agencies in Idaho from buying any U.S. or Idaho flags that aren’t made in the United States, but a clause in her original bill that declared that if agencies bought such flags, they wouldn’t have to pay for them, raised concerns in the House, prompting amendments to the bill/ Betsy Russell , Eye On Boise.

Question: Some might say that Rep. Marge Chadderdon’s flag bill is among the sillier ones in the 2009 Legislature. Can you think of any sillier?
