Edit: A pig w/lipstick is still a pig
This editorial was published by the Idaho Press-Tribune of Nampa:
How many times do Idaho voters have to say “no” to a proposed power-grabbing constitutional amendment before the Legislature gets the message?
Two years ago, voters rejected House Joint Resolution 2, a constitutional amendment to essentially give the Legislature supreme authority over agency rules, overriding anything the executive and judicial branches might do. In layman’s terms, compare the proposed amendment to a pig - a dirty, smelly animal that most people don’t like to touch.
For this election, legislators took the same pig, gave it a new name (HJR 5), cleaned it up and drenched it in perfume to mask the bad smell. But it’s still a pig, and we’re recommending that voters say “no” again. More here.
DFO: All you have to know about this amendment from the power-grabbing Idaho Legislature is opposed by AG Lawrence Wasden. I trust Wasden’s judgment over that off the Top Dogs in the Idaho Legislature. Thoughts?
