Idaho Congressmen Eschew Townhalls

Four years ago this very week, hundreds of community venues around the country were entertaining politically explosive town hall meetings hosted by members of the U.S. House and Senate. There was an ongoing debate about health care reform, Obama stimulus funding and those pesky czars who were running and ruining the country — without being elected. There was something very American about these town halls, because they were unrehearsed, unvarnished and LIVE! Congressional electeds had to face constituents — and constituents got an audience before leaders — and isn’t this the way things were meant to be? We wish it were still so. Of the four members of the Idaho congressional delegation, so far we count only three scheduled town halls during this four-week congressional recess/vacation/district or state work period/ Idaho Statesman .

Question: Why is the Idaho congressional delegation eschewing townhall meetings during its break?
