The Idaho Legislature adjourned sine die on Wednesday, having passed enough unnecessary legislation (such as the prohibition of “coercing” someone to have an abortion) to tide itself over for the year. Of course they didn’t do anything about the sales tax, or much of anything else that matters to most people.
But at least they’re done until 2009, so they can’t do anything else stupid until then.
Former state legislator and 2006 U.S. House candidate Jim Hansen was named Idaho Democratic party executive director yesterday. Among other things, Hansen is quite possibly the single most experienced grassroots political organizer in Idaho today. Choosing him to head up the day-to-day operations of the IDP is nothing short of inspired.
Don’t wory, after they swear in a few more Dems next year, we’ll have a little better a session to look forward to. And Jim Hansen, brilliant move on their part.
How can I let your members know about this great t-shirt?
