2006 Legislative Tour

The North Idaho Chamber of Commerce hosted a wonderful Legislative Tour Nov. 12-14, 2006. The theme this year was "A Region in Transition". Brent and Rochenda were able to attend and really enjoyed touring many sites and learning about what is important to the people in Northern Idaho.

Tuesday's tour included: Northwest Specialty Hospital, Northern Idaho Advanced Care Hospital, Buck Knives, Sysco Food Service, University of Idaho Research Park, Riverbend Commerce Park and Flexcel.

Rochenda and Brooklyn are happy that things are going well.

Rep. Dolores Crow helped Brent celebrate his win. Rep. Crow is retiring and Brent is taking her place. She has left some big shoes to fill. Brent had two opponets, one Democrat, and one Libertarian. Brent received 68% of the vote (10, 623) , the Democrat received 27% of the vote (4,222), and the Libertarian received 3% of the vote (608). It was a great win.
