latah county commissioners

Latah County Commissioner Harry DeWitt just doesn't get it. 

DeWitt doesn't seem to understand that the laws restricting the way 
public officials spend public money (that is taxpayer money, our money, 
and indeed in small part, my money) are in place to stop elected 
officials like him from making quiet deals with their "good old boy" 
friends.  I am referring to the deal DeWitt made for the county's 
vehicle maintenence shop, ignoring the rules about open public 
decision-making and open public bidding for county contracts worth more 
than $5,000, which was detailed in articles printed on Thursday, June 
25, in both the Daily News and the Lewiston Tribune.

Now, I don't get it.  I thought conservative Republicans cared about our 
system of checks and balances, upheld the law, and would be anxious to 
put every expense out to public bid, hoping to hold down the prices and 
save the taxpayers' money.

I am just thankful that Loreca Stauber was there to blow the whistle on 
this petty corruption.
