Labrador should apologize

Boise, ID - The Walt Minnick for Congress campaign called on Raul Labrador to apologize for his harsh attack on Idaho businesses.
In an e-mail sent earlier this week, Labrador references what he terms a "terrific analysis" by a California pundit. The e-mail included the following quote about business owners: "Some have sought preferential tax benefits... others have sought corporate welfare. Still others feed the alligator that is government in hopes that it will be kind to them in the future while it consumes others today."
"This is another troubling statement from Raul, and one for which he owes Idaho businesses an apology," Minnick for Congress campaign manager John Foster said. "His insinuation that business leaders are hypocritical about free enterprise insults the many Idahoans doing all they can to keep businesses afloat during these tough times. It's no surprise that the business leaders, business owners and trade associations working toward an economic recovery for Idaho are solidly behind Walt Minnick."
Labrador's fundraising e-mail can be seen at the Idaho GOP website.
