[Vision2020] Say What?

[Tom Hansen]

“Thank you, Mr. Speaker.  I just . . . I like that.  We’re gonna get 
skewered whichever way we go.  But then that’s part of our job description 
and we should just take it in the shorts.  So, that’s not a problem for 
me.  But I do have a couple of comments I want to make and one is 
simply . . . I could probably go along with this if it were just limited 
to the state.  We would be telling us what we could do.  I don’t like the 
addition of the subdivisions.  They should not be mandated to do much of 
anything.  And secondly, it’s the end of the session warm fuzzy.  We do 
this traditionally.  And we can continue to do it traditionally.  But, it 
seems like we don’t have enough to do, so let’s do a warm fuzzy.  And then 
my rhetorical question . . . If we disallow the state political 
subdivisions, universities, etcetera, etcetera, to not buy Chinese made 
American flags, will the Chinese call in their loans?”

- State District 35 Representative Lenore Barrett during a debate 
concerning House Bill 249 restricting purchases of U.S. and Idaho flags to 
only those U.S. and Idaho flags manufactured within the United States
