MT: Allred Is Antithesis Of Otter

Voters now have a choice. Perhaps they agree with Otter that government must live within its means. Possibly they share the House GOP leadership’s view that taxes are too high and that programs from schools and higher education to transportation or social are a burden. That’s the conventional wisdom in this reliably Republican state. Or just maybe Idahoans have entered their 15th year of single-party rule wondering if the GOP is so busy fighting itself that it has lost track of them. It’s possible they’re fatigued with a governing philosophy that says investments in their education system must be slashed while tax breaks for big business retain their priority. If anyone can bring that message home, it’s Allred. Almost the antithesis of Otter, Allred likes to get his mind around complex, policy questions/ Marty Trillhaase , Lewiston Tribune. More here .

Question: Do you believe one-party rule — whether its in Washington, D.C., or Idaho — is a good thing?
