Edit Calls Out Idaho’s 9 Fools

In a recent editorial, the Twin Falls Times-News didn’t mince words in describing as “fools” the nine Republicans in the House Judiciary and Rules Committee who jeopardized Idaho’s Child Support Enforcement system. The nine – including Reps. Kathy Sims of Coeur d’Alene, Don Cheatham of Post Falls, Heather Scott of Blanchard and Shannon McMillan of Silverton – voted in the 9-8 majority last month to kill a crucial child support bill, forcing Gov. Butch Otter to call a special session to fix the mess. The session begins Monday. The Times-News: “Fueled by bizarre conspiracy theories about Muslims and seeing the issue as an easy chance to trumpet some anti-federalism rhetoric, the nine essentially voted to dismantle Idaho’s $205 million child support system and put about a quarter of the state’s population in jeopardy of not receiving badly needed child support payments.” Maybe the Notorious Nine have seen the light.
