Scott smells ‘trap’, boycotts forum

“Incumbent Rep. Heather Scott, a Blanchard Republican, boycotted the (Sandpoint Reader candidates’) forum and urged her supporters to do likewise in a Facebook post that lambasted the local media and portrayed the event as a trap meant to ensnare candidates so their words can be twisted and taken out of context to further a liberal conspiracy against her. Scott faces Kate McAlister, a Sandpoint Democrat who is campaigning for better education and transportation infrastructure, in addition to business growth that brings jobs to the community”/ Keith Kinnaird , Bonner County Bee.
