  • I both called and emailed Senator Risch of Idaho, concerning his lack of transparency in dealing with whistle blower protection. I had the following conversation with his office, and also wrote his press secretary and legislative director with: "I want to thank the good senator for setting an example for the rest of us to follow in matters of rights to privacy. When hired by clients to work on their property who ask us what we are doing, we feel like it's our business not theirs and this is a right to privacy issue. We now feel confident that we can move forward, heads held high, justified in our view thanks to the fact that Senator Risch is one of only five senators who has not confirmed or denied placing a secret hold on the Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Act -- also known as the WPEA or S. 372 -- on the last day of Congress in December. Is this correct, that the Senator has not denied objecting to this bill’s passage? We want to be certain before we ourselves continue to operate in secrecy! Way to go. It's the kind of leadership we've come to count on in Idaho, where honesty and integrity take second place to privacy rights." I have received no reply back, as expected!
