be gone someday, anyway. Why do you care?” I regretted only

 Reflecting
on Bob Dole’s message for America and Idaho: When I
heard of the passing of WWII combat veteran and former
presidential candidate U.S. Senator Bob Dole, I immediately

when civility in politics was a requirement for getting anything
done – and he reminds us that even though civility seems like a
bygone value in American politics, it is still a requirement for
getting the people’s work done. By Governor Brad Little |
