Richardson letter: IEN

The latest $229,000 Idaho Educational Network legislative insult is a mere spit in the bucket. Taxpayers are already on the hook for more than $2 million in legal fees for this bit of malfeasance. If this happened in Japan, Otter, Gwartney and their co-conspirators would long ago have fallen on their swords. Here in Idaho, they are re-elected and encouraged to keep at it. They should all be tarred, feathered and sent a packin’ along with any legislators who vote to pour even more down the rathole they’ve dug.
