Don’t forget the sweet deal legislators have where each session counts as a full year toward a PERSI retirement. And.. the per diem cash they get figures into their PERSI retirement calculations.

Term limits would end all this nonsense but they won’t let that happen. They voted down a people’s initiative a few years back in the first 10 minutes of the session. None of them got voted out of office for this “in your face” deal.

We need term limits, public financing of campaigns, and relaxed recall rules.

Sad commentary on leadership in Idaho. The Legislature might just as well adjourn — its work is done, it has protected one of its own. Apparently justice’s head can be turned by a slick and polished pretty head (McGee is a flack for a hospital), a sweet young wife and two babes. No particular sympathy for former Boise Mayor Coles, but he must be ticked that so many others in high places have gotten passes since him when he actually had to serve time in jail. He should have been an example of what not to do, not what to do. Just a thought on a chilly morning where I am thoroughly disgusted by these hollow, shallow people who have forgotten what they learned in kindergarten, the boy scouts and girl scouts and MOM!

Let’s not let the public forget about this when he is up for re-election.

Does anyone really expect a politician to vote in any kind of supervision over themselves? The fox is in charge of the hen house and he aint gonna give that up without a fight.
