District 2 Is North Idaho Flashpoint

After GOP commissioners attempted again to suggest doing a congressional plan first - an idea Democratic commissioners already have rejected, the two side began talking about a flashpoint issue: The treatment of District 2 in North Idaho in the Democratic plan. That district takes in southern Bonner County, then stretches all the way south through Shoshone County down to Riggins. … Commissioner Lorna Finman of Rathdrum said, “District 2 is a worse version of what was done 10 years ago, which up north was an outrage to everybody, an abomination was the word. And to leave a legacy of a District 2 that’s worse than 10 years ago, at least to me, was a nonstarter.”/ Betsy Russell , Eye On Boise. More here.
