LABRADOR: Right for Idaho

| February 28, 2018 12:00 AM

Do you think it is right that special interest groups can participate in the Public Employee Retirement System of Idaho? Raul Labrador wants to put an end to this. Lobbyists should never have been put on the state-funded PERSI. Imagine the deal-making, and the special interest cronyism this can promote!

Meanwhile, taxpayers take on the additional financial risk. Just think of all the underfunded state retirement plans in the country that are propped up on taxpayers’ money.

Raul Labrador is a breath of fresh air. He sees things for what they are and is fearless about speaking up. His track record in the U.S. Congress and his many interviews on television and radio networks clearly show this. We need Raul Labrador as Idaho’s next governor.
