Where Was George & Eric?

The paragraphs that conclude Cameron Rasmusson’s (Bonner Daily Bee) report on the Bonner County Lincoln Day Dinner Friday are interesting: “Finally, local legislators took their turns at the mic. Rep. Phil Hart, R-Athol, and Rep. Vito Barbieri, R-Dalton Gardens outlined their support for the strategy of nullification. Keough, Bonner County’s only legislator present, emphasized party unity. ‘At the end of the day, we’re all Republicans,’ she said. ‘We’re all after the same thing.’ ” It’s noteworthy that Hart & Barbieri from House District 3 (northern Kootenai County) spoke when District 2 Rep’s George Eskridge & Eric Anderson weren’t even present. Mebbe the latter two got snagged in Boise. (Photo: Eric Anderson, R, Priest Lake)

Question: What do you make of the absence of Anderson and Eskridge and the presence of Hart and Barbieri at the Bonner County Lincoln Day event?
