Canyon County commissioners appoint Vallivue trustee, ending months of vacancies

Originally published Oct. 30 on IdahoEdNews.org . In a rare but legally required move, the Canyon County Board of Commissioners on Thursday appointed naturopathic medical doctor Brett Butterfield to fill a vacancy on the Vallivue school board. If a school board in Idaho fails to fill a vacancy within 120 days, the local county commissioners are required to make the appointment. Trustee Toni Brinegar resigned on June 9, which was 142 days ago as of Thursday. "This is a statutory requirement," Canyon County Chief Civil Deputy Aaron Bazzoli told the commissioners at Thursday's meeting. He said the school district provided Butterfield's name, but there were "some issues with how they went about the process." Commissioner Leslie Van Beek thanked Bazzoli for putting on the record the county's statutory authority to make the appointment. "I don't know that the board has been asked — not in my tenure — to be the one that appoints a person for a vacancy on a school board," she said. She then made a motion to appoint Butterfield. "We're not here to overstep the wishes of the Vallivue school board," Van Beek said. "For whatever reason, they had problems, so this was the name that

Idaho Gov. Little wins third term as Republicans sweep state offices again

Idaho Republican Gov. Brad Little won his race for reelection to a third term Tuesday night with 57.1% of the vote. Democrat Terri Pickens was second at 32.3%. “We’re not done yet,” Little said in front of a giant American flag backdrop at his election night party in downtown Boise. The race wasn’t expected to be competitive. The Cook Political Report rated the Idaho governor’s race as “solid R,” one of just seven such races across the country. Little also held a fundraising advantage, with over $1 million in his chest as of Oct. 30. Little’s victory was the beginning of another Republican sweep of statewide offices. The party has held every statewide office for 20 years , and its candidates delivered commanding wins in every race on Tuesday. “I think we’re going to hold the line,” Lt. Gov. Scott Bedke said in a speech at Little’s relection party.
