Solon wants to boot AG from Land Board

Rep. John VanderWoude, R-Meridian, wants to change the Idaho Constitution to remove the Attorney General from the state Land Board and replace him with the state treasurer. VanderWoude brought his proposed constitutional amendment to the House State Affairs Committee this morning, which voted unanimously to introduce it, clearing the way for a hearing. Changing the Idaho Constitution requires a two-thirds vote of each house of the Legislature, plus a majority vote of the people at the next general election/ Betsy Russell , Eye on Boise.

Question: This may be one of the most clueless bills to appear before the Legislature this year. AG Lawrence Wasden is one of the most sensible/respected elected officials on the executive side. There’s absolutely no reason to replace him, especially in the form of a constitutional amendment restructuring the Land Board. Thoughts?
