>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.
