Crow Rips Denney ‘Conflict’ Claim

Former GOP Rep. Dolores Crow, pictured, says she’s been agitated since last week when Rep. Lawerence Denney accused outgoing Idaho Secretary of State Ben Ysursa of a conflict of interest for endorsing Phil McGrane as his successor. “I just couldn’t sleep well until I get my two bits in,” said Crow, 82, a former chairwoman of the House Revenue & Taxation Committee known in the Legislature for her sharp tongue. “I just don’t think it’s right for him to lash out at a man who’s done the job for 40 years, for heaven’s sake.” Crow, who represented Canyon County for 24 years, said she, too, is supporting McGrane, the Ada County chief deputy clerk. In announcing his own endorsements from Congressman Raul Labrador and Treasurer Ron Crane, Denney questioned the integrity of the election in light of Ysursa’s support of McGrane, who also is endorsed by 24 of Idaho’s 44 county clerks/ Dan Popkey , Idaho Statesman.
