Labrador Replies To Minnick’s Reply

Item: Labrador replies to Minnick’s reply on finance reform; Minnick’s manager calls truce /Dan Popkey, Idaho Statesman

More Info: The tit-for-tat over Democratic Rep. Walt Minnick’s vote for the new finance reform appears to be coming to a close — at least for the weekend. The final word looks to be a press release from GOP challenger Raul Labrador with a headline reading, “We can trade petty salvos, or we can engage in adult discussion.” Labrador’s statement includes this sharp line: “We could respond in kind to Mr. Minnick’s misinformed attacks by talking about his history of tax delinquency or his business bankruptcy, but I don’t think Idahoans want that kind of campaign. I sure don’t.” Minnick was late paying property taxes on four parcels in Ada County in 2001 and 2002.
