Balukoff Opposes Campus Carry

Democratic candidate for governor A.J. Balukoff spoke out today against the guns-on-campus bill that Gov. Butch Otter signed into law yesterday, saying, “That’s a solution looking for a problem. It was totally unnecessary, and I think the process to pass that was just as flawed as the bill.” Balukoff, the chairman of the Boise School Board, said, “It was an erosion of local control. … It’s also an  unfunded mandate to our colleges and universities, who are already struggling to make ends meet.” Balukoff’s comments came in response to reporters’ questions as he held a news conference on the Statehouse steps today to note that he and running mate Bert Marley have filed their candidacy papers/ Betsy Russell , Eye on Boise.

Question: Is this an issue that will give Balukoff traction?
