Scott gets ‘Neighbors’ event invite

The Spokane Interfaith Council has invited Idaho Rep. Heather Scott, R-Blanchard, to a “Meet the Neighbors” event at the Spokane Islamic Center in January, in response to her legislative newsletter calling for a special session of the Idaho Legislature on refugee issues and declaring that Muslim refugees constitute an “invasion of our country.” I wrote about Scott’s call in my Sunday column here . Skyler Oberst, president of the council, told Scott he was issuing the invitation “knowing your commitment to our country and our extended community in the Inland Northwest.” He wrote, “This event is designed to provide community leaders accurate and respectful information about the people they serve and live alongside, as well as highlight the rich history of our area’s religious communities. And what a rich history to share!”/ Betsy Russell , Eye on Boise. More here .

Question: Do you think Scott will accept the invitation?
