VETOES: Override the governor

| April 10, 2019 1:00 AM

We read on Coeur d’Alene Press front page on April 6 and to be fair researched the state site for a “fair and constructive conclusion,” the hypocrisy. S115/H296 required the source of funding.

Brad Little: “I agree with the goals and the vision of S1159 and H296…Idaho cannot become like California and other states that have adopted liberal initiative rules…”

Megan Blanksma: “…House Republicans look forward to working with the governor on future legislation that protects Idaho’s processes from out-of-state special interest groups.”

Reclaim Idaho Co-Founder Luke Mayville and Executive Director Rebecca Schroeder in a joint statement: “Our citizens were entrusted to use the initiative power…”

Reclaim Idaho is the CALIFORNIAN grassroots group behind getting Medicaid expansion on the ballot, where it was passed by 61 percent of voters.

61 percent of the southern Idaho/URBAN/sanctuary city (“welcoming city”) Voter.

Based on “…won’t raise taxes…is for the WORKING CLASS POOR.” Lies/half truths (as the “non street wise” have just learned). Once passed: Contract changed once agreed to/voted/“signed,” violation/breach: “Must have no restrictions” Mayville.

The House: “…no $…for it”

Hypocrisy at its finest.

Contradicting their statements, and just as in California, the rural “smelly Walmart, deplorable, Bible/gun clinging…” patriotic Idahoans have no voice.

Sad/infuriating thing, this is our LOCAL Government.

Historical Idaho: Democrat (verge of bankrupt), Republican (thriving/OK), now: marching toward socialism (imminent collapse/bankruptcy).

Let me guess what’s next…Pot (and gun control).

I urge you to call for/demand the override of Governor Little’s vetoes.
