MikeK: ‘Humorless’ Kemp Not Needed

Re: Jana Kemp miffed at City Club of Boise debate snub /Dustin Hurst, Idaho Reporter

Mike Kennedy: “(Independent gubernatorial candidate Jana Kemp has) also personally directly threatened the non-profit status of Catholic Charities of Idaho, on whose board I served for nine years until last month, because a fundraising event we’ve held for several years to poke fun at politicians (and they at themselves) did not include the independent candidates. I was one of the committee that put on the first event, and it has become a fun and spirited dinner. Until a humorless politician threatened our tax status, that is. She has no case, but my former colleagues on the board will be rightfully concerned about involving the agency in some sort of politically inspired lawsuit to have to spend money defending. Unbelievable. If the CCI event does ultimately get canceled, I hope Ms. Kemp is willing to personally contribute approximately $40,000 to replace the funds that would have been raised and provided to needy Idahoans. And she wants to be Governor? Really?

Question: Do you appreciate a sense of humor in a politician?
