[Vision2020] Hey, Tom's a Republican!

[Ron Force]

Why, from your taxes, of course (Idaho Statesman):


Minority Leader John Rusche, D-Lewiston, said the measure is 
premature and will interfere with well-meaning efforts to cut costs and 
improve the damaged U.S. health care system.
Others argued the 
possible cost to taxpayers of $100,000 - for Idaho Attorney General 
Lawrence Wasden to hire another full-time attorney to pursue litigation 
against the federal government - would be an irresponsible expenditure 
during a budget crisis.
"How can we justify spending or maybe 
spending an additional $100,000 a year when we're cutting parks, schools and necessary services to the most needy residents?" said Rep. Elfrede 
Higgins, D-Garden City.

An open question on this one:

WHERE is the 100k coming from to try and defend this one in court?
