ELECTION: Pay price for mistakes

| April 10, 2015 9:00 PM

In the letters to the editor, I read a lot as to what we need to do and I agree. What I don’t read is how we get it done. History, if one would remember it, once showed Idaho voters how it’s done.

Idaho once had a governor who wasn’t liked all that well. Idaho Democrats kept running a candidate against him that would return gambling to this state. All this changed when in the Republican primary, voters ousted this governor by electing another Republican to represent them.

Voters who dislike what they have need to remember this when voting in primary, state and national elections.

Are “problems” our representatives’ fault, or the voters who put them in office? One wants change, then one needs to change how they vote.
