Crane RE: Scott ap-hollow-gy: Issue over

• Here’s Scott’s spin on the situation

In a discussion with reporters today, House Assistant Majority Leader Brent Crane, R-Nampa, said the House GOP leadership wanted Rep. Heather Scott, R-Blanchard, to meet with a half-dozen female representatives who had specific concerns, before restoring her committee assignments. That meeting, facilitated by Caucus Chairman John VanderWoude, R-Nampa, took place Monday afternoon, Crane said.

“When this episode took place a couple of weeks ago, we outlined some things we would like Rep. Scott to address,” Crane said. “Those were addressed as of Monday afternoon. … This issue is taken care of, and we’re done.”

He said Scott already had apologized to the caucus “in a very appropriate way”/ Betsy Russell , Eye on Boise. More here.
