Idaho GOP Not Confident In McGee
Idaho Republicans have approved a motion giving Sen. John McGee a vote of no confidence following a drunken driving incident but postponed indefinitely a resolution calling for the Senate majority caucus chairman to resign his leadership position. The no-confidence motion approved by the Idaho GOP’s state central committee on Saturday at its meeting in Moscow has no legal effect, but some members say it sends a message that they don’t approve of what McGee did. McGee, of Caldwell, on July 1 pleaded guilty to drunken driving on June 19, and in exchange prosecutors agreed to drop a felony stemming from him taking a SUV that didn’t belong to him/ Betsy Russell , Eye On Boise.

Question: Is this a sign that the Idaho GOP is beginning to take ethical lapses of elected leaders more seriously?
