BROOKS: Party aversion unsavory

So Bill Brooks has suddenly developed an “aversion” to the Kootenai County Republican Central Committee. Where was this aversion last November when his Republican affiliation helped him win re-election in a heavily conservative and Republican county?

It looks like Bill Brooks wants to have his cake and eat it too. He wants to be viewed as a “conservative, Christian, and lifelong Republican” without having to be affiliated with the Republican Party.

It is a good thing that Bill Brooks does not plan to run for re-election when his present term is finished. I doubt if many Republicans would vote for him again after feeling betrayed, as Brent Regan rightly points out. What good is electing a Republican candidate if he will not follow party recommendations or philosophies? The last thing Kootenai County needs is another RINO politician, especially one with questionable ethics.
