OPINION: Effort to Impeach Brad Little Caused by His Own Hubris
I’m surprised it took this long. Governor Brad Little hasn’t been popular with the constitutional wing of his party for as long as I can remember. The more libertarian wing backed Raul Labrador in the 2018 Republican Primary. Its members are closely allied with Lt. Governor Janice McGeachin. During the 2018 lead up to Primary Day, a caller to my program wanted to know who she favored for Governor. She responded she was concerned about her own race. Then added her politics better aligned with Labrador.
The Governor’s comments on Friday appear to have inflamed even some of his traditional allies. It involves the battle over coronavirus emergency orders.
