There's a Democrat running for Idaho governor. His name is A.J. Balukoff. Anybody seen him, lately? Anybody heard from him? After all, here's a fellow virtually unknown outside the small circle of people who follow his work on the Boise School Board. And he's had opportunity after opportunity to spotlight the waste, fraud and abuse swirling in and around Gov. C.L. (Butch) Otter. Otter waited until the last possible minute to concede private management of Idaho's violence-plagued "gladiator school," the Idaho Correctional Center, had to end. Rather than get to the bottom of how much the ICC contractor, Corrections Corp. of America, bilked Idaho taxpayers for unworked shifts, Otter rebuffed Attorney General Lawrence Wasden's call for a criminal investigation. What about that, Mr. Balukoff?/Marty Trillhaase, Lewiston Tribune. More here.

Question: Has anyone seen A.J. Balukoff?
