[Vision2020] Props 123

[Tom Hansen]

I strongly agree.

How many Republicans were denied attendance at party caucuses simply because they would not vote strictly along party lines on all bills.

I remember a recent chair of the House Agriculture Committee, and former rep of Idaho's 6th legislative district, who was bounced from the committee because he refused to vote strictly along party lines.

He even got into a heated argument with Rep. Bob Nonini because . . . well, you get the picture.

If anybody is interested in listening to the Nonini argument (of which I have an MP3), . . .

Seeya at the polls, Moscow, because . . .
