Tone-deaf legislators ignore voters
In a weekend editorial, Opinion Editor Marty Trillhaase of the Lewiston Tribune posts:
For the sake of argument, consider a conversation between an ordinary voter and an Idaho legislator.
Let’s call the mythical ordinary Idahoan John Q. Citizen.
And let’s say our imaginary lawmaker goes by the name of Rep. Mike Moyle, R-Star.
John Q: Rep. Moyle, I read you want to cut taxes even more.
Moyle: That’s right. We’ve got a little extra money and you deserve it.
John Q: But what if we don’t want a tax cut?
Moyle: Not want a tax cut? Says who? Everybody likes tax cuts.
John Q: Not us. Not most Idahoans. More here.
