Sunshine Law pressure on Idaho lawmakers heats up

Attorney General Wayne Kidwell will refer violators to county prosecutors for criminal or civil action, with penalties up to a $250 daily fine and six months in jail for willful violations. Notable names include Allan F Larsen and Arthur Murphy, who justify delays with busy schedules and procedural criticisms while vowing to push for change.
