Scott requests special session on refugees

North Idaho Rep. Heather Scott is calling for a special session of the Legislature to “draft emergency legislation to address the refugee crisis” and declaring that Muslim refugees constitute an “invasion of our country.” In a legislative newsletter, Scott also said Muslim refugees will press “the Islamic agenda of domination and takeover.” The electronic newsletter was sent out at taxpayer expense through a new service being offered to state lawmakers. The state is spending $17,200 on the service, which about 10 lawmakers have used so far. Scott didn’t return calls requesting comment, nor did she say what exactly she wanted a special session of the Legislature to address since refugee resettlement is a federal program/ Betsy Russell , Eye on Boise.
