Scott is doing her job

There is a reason Heather Scott has been in the cross hairs of the local liberal mob: She’s doing her job. She has been effective in helping to halt the erosion of personal liberties and constitutional rights here in North Idaho. She understands her employment is with all the citizens of her district.

Heather understands throwing good money after bad will not fix any broken system. She understands that the changes necessary first to stabilize, then for our growth will be painful in the short term for all of us. She understands the need to resolve issues without continuing to flog the property owners and the small businesses with evermore burdensome regulations, taxes and fees.

Heather is already deep in the trenches working for those creative solutions that can bring private, charitable NGO’s, government agencies and corporate parties and resources together for the benefit of all North Idahoans.

If personal choice is important to you, if you want to see our economy grow, your rights and liberties secured, balanced budgets, responsible spending, limited and reasonable taxation, responsible regulation and preservation practices to secure our natural resources, then you have to vote for Heather Scott.
