Trib cheers Labrador for townhalls
In his Cheers & Jeers column today, Congressman Raul Labrador offers CHEERS to … Congressman Raul Labrador, R-Idaho:
He continues to wade into potentially unruly town hall meetings. This morning, the four-term congressman is set to appear at Lewis-Clark State College’s Silverthorne Theater. Later, he’ll be at Lake City High School in Coeur d’Alene.
That’s a follow-up to Labrador’s town hall meetings last month in Meridian and Nampa.
But north central Idaho could deliver more turbulence. For instance, Latah County came within two votes of rejecting him last year. And Labrador can expect to answer for his Lewiston field representative, Scott Carlton, who earlier this year sicced the U.S. Capitol Police on a group of LC Valley Indivisible members who sought to meet with him.
Labrador’s timing also guarantees a rough-and-tumble session, coming just hours after he voted for his party’s American Health Care Act alternative to Obamacare. More here.
