fulcher

The Idaho Legislature is moving closer to ending the session. However, there is one issue that lawmakers say will keep them there until Friday, and possibly into next week.  It's a disagreement on how surplus money should be spent, and the main point of contention is whether to give taxpayers a break, or to save for a rainy day.

(AP) Idaho Republican senators chose Russ Fulcher in a closed session as majority caucus chairman to replace former Sen. John McGee, who quit last week amid sexual harassment allegations from a young female staffer.

After a 4 to 1 vote, Cindy Fulcher is no longer principal at Xavier Charter School in Twin Falls.  The vote took place Monday at a board meeting scheduled for the purpose of taking the vote.
