This is refreshing

The legislature is actually doing something to help create jobs in Idaho. Most of their attention is focused on guns and abortions and lawsuits and lawyers, and virtually nothing on figuring a way to help improve lives of Idaho citizens.

Gov. Otter has persuaded the House to pass his "Hire One Act," that gives a tax credit for a new hire. There was opposition from some Republicans, but it passed easily. More of that, please.

Money quote, from Democrat John Rusche:

It's nice to be ranting and be political - every now and then you have to do something that actually helps.

Amen, brother.
