SR Stands By Avista Donation Story

RE: Avista defends North Idaho doughnations : “… Meanwhile, S-R City Editor Addy Hatch sent out a tweet noting that a link to Avista’s statement has been posted with the story, and adding, “As far as setting the record straight, we believe the story is factual and fair and we stand by it.” And among the 25 comments (so far) on the online version of the story on the S-R website was this one, posted late this afternoon by commenter PerryE: “I’m George Eskridge’s son, and a lobbyist myself. I agree with Avista that the article wasn’t quite clear enough on the fact that Avista warned my father several months ago, during Idaho’s legislative session, that if he didn’t vote Avista’s way that Avista would be sure that Rep. Eskridge wouldn’t be re-elected”/ Betsy Russell , Eye On Boise. More here.

DFO: Sounds as though Avista got caught trying & failing to strong arm 2 good North Idaho legislators.

Question: Don’t you wish you had an alternative power company to choose to show your displeasure at the Utility Company Formerly Known As Washington Water Power?
