Oil and Water Don't Mix

And neither do Dirk Kempthorne and ethics.

More political propaganda from Boise as Dirk Kempthorne plies his carefully chosen words to make you believe he has ethics.

Kempthorne, while governor, protected the illegal activities of the Idaho Tax Commission. His staff failed to follow through on an investigation of a specific complaint that was promised to a member of the legislature.

His office even went so far as to state that since they were not named in a protection order issued by a court of competent jurisdiction, they did not have any obligation to see that it was enforced.

I guess Dirk owed more to his back room dealings with Duwayne Hammond, Severina Haws, Larry Watson, Colleen Grant and Larry Wasden.

Now that the legislature is about to start up again for the 2009 session what more shenanigans can we expect on the tax commission cover up?
