Trillhaase: Tables Turn On Minnick

Back in 2008, Republican Bill Sali was the incumbent and his challenger, Democrat Walt Minnick, was targeting Sali’s spokesman Wayne Hoffman. Hoffman was drawing a federal salary as Sali’s congressional office press spokesman. He was also working on Sali’s campaign - and it was tough to tell when he was working for the taxpayers or whether he was campaigning at taxpayer expense, Minnick contended. Now the situation is reversed. Minnick is the incumbent. And John Foster, Minnick’s senior adviser and communications director, is drawing heat for doing the same thing - working as a spokesman for both the congressional office and Minnick’s re-election campaign/ Marty Trillhaase , Lewiston Tribune.

Question: Do you blame congressional wannabe Vaughn Ward’s staff for calling Minnick on using the same practice that he criticized Bill Sali for?
