Leave it to state Rep. Dick Harwood, whose legislative district includes the Coeur d'Alene Reservation, to criticize the deals Gov. Butch Otter reached with the Coeur d'Alenes and other Idaho tribes over tribal fuel tax revenues. The agreements, which Otter and tribal leaders negotiated prior to a legislative deadline, will end a multiyear dispute during which many legislators sought to impose the state's tax on tribal filling stations. Under their terms, tribes , including the Nez Perce, will collect taxes equal to the state's on each gallon of fuel sold at their stations. They will then use the money on transportation needs, either on or off their reservations. ... "I don't see where we did any negotiation, I really don't," Harwood tells the Spokesman-Review. "They just spend the money any place they want to. ... They can purchase land, acquire land on any road. ... It just seemed pretty open to me"/Jim Fisher, Lewiston Tribune. More here.

Question: Could Harwood be elected in any other district in North Idaho but District 2 and St. Maries?
