Immigration commissioner feud ends Idaho exhibit cut
The Boise newspaper notes that the Idaho immigration commissioner role was abolished by the Republican legislature, saving taxpayers about $14,400 over six years. It accuses Gov Hawley of contributing to the abolition and criticizes the former office as a political sinecure with costly pamphlets and duties beyond display oversight. The piece argues Hawley raised the salary previously and credits Alexander with ending the held job, appealing to Idaho readers for restraint on such offices.
