SR: Wasden Right RE: N-Waste

A dispute over importation of nuclear waste into Idaho has triggered a rare case of political fission that has evenly split four present and former governors. But the critical element is Attorney General Lawrence Wasden. So far, he’s right where he should be: on the side of the law. The divide originates with a 1995 agreement signed by then-Gov. Phil Batt that blocks shipments of more waste into Idaho until the U.S. Department of Energy develops and implements technology that can convert liquid waste into a more stable powder. The deadline for disposing of the stocks already in Idaho is 2035/ Spokesman-Review Editorial Board . More here .

Question: I wonder if this’ll be another case in which Otter & Co. bull ahead and get Idaho into another mess despite the warning of the AG’s office?
