Bill targets school board recall issues
A bill inspired by the confusion that followed the recall of two West Bonner school board trustees is being rewritten to address concerns of some of the State Affairs committee following a Feb. 21 hearing on the bill. Rep. Mark Sauter, R-Sandpoint, began revising the bill after his original legislation, House Bill 420, was sent to General Orders to ensure the bill does not conflict with other statutes. A bill sent to that committee can be amended on the floor if later brought up for action, or can languish there if it isn't passed into law if the Legislature adjourns before then.

An explanation of votes taken this session

Votes are Republican, conservative, and consistent with GOP platform
As one of your elected representatives for District 1, it is important that you, the residents of Bonner and Boundary counties, know where I stand on the real issues that impact your life.
