Otter Council Pick Has Felony Record

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Denton Darrington (pictured) pulled the nomination of Susan Kiebert from the committee agenda Monday after consulting with Gov. Butch Otter. Otter appointed Kiebert to the Idaho Judicial Council last year and she has been serving, pending Senate confirmation. The council screens applicants for state district court judge, the Idaho Court of Appeals and Idaho Supreme Court, and makes nominations to the governor. The panel also investigates complaints against judges. Darrington, R-Declo, did not announce the reason for the delay. But shortly before his committee met to consider sending the nomination to the full Senate, he met with Otter and informed him he was delaying the vote. Darrington and Otter both said they were unaware that Kiebert had been convicted of making false statements by a federal jury in Pocatello in 1995/ Dan Popkey , Idaho Statesman. More here.
