Boss Denney Miffed At Redistricter
Republican House Speaker Lawerence Denney may fire his appointee to Idaho’s redistricting commission,
former GOP state Rep. Dolores Crow, because party members don’t think she protected their interests. That’s after Idaho Supreme Court justices threw out the new political boundaries Wednesday. On Thursday afternoon, Denney told the Associated Press that GOP legislators are angry and believe Crow and other Republican commissioners in October backed a plan that’s too generous to minority Democrats. They want commissioners who will support a map more favorable to Republicans. Denney says he’d prefer Crow to resign, not force him to fire her/
