Griffin misleads readers
Jim Griffin decided to attack me personally because, apparently, he is unable to refute my comments on his dear ultra-right agenda. ...
As usual, Griffin only told part of the story. ...
In 2014, I got into a tiff with the Idaho State Bar about a case I was handling to appeal a Latah County zoning decision involving work hours on a rock crushing operation.
I had to write a brief and, due to the press of other business, did not get it done fast enough, leading the judge to dismiss the appeal. I requested that the judge change his mind. He did. I then completed my client’s appeal brief, on my own nickle, argued the matter before the district court, managed to get the judge to reverse the zoning decision and allow my client a second bite at the apple before the Latah County zoning people and county commission. ...
So, I prevailed.
The client, of course, had decided to change attorneys because he was mad and a different attorney handled the renewed zoning proceeding. ...
Although I was slower than I should have been, I was the only one in the whole shebang who prevailed on everything I did in the long run.
To the State Bar, of course, this all meant nothing and I got zinged in a minor way. So, Mr. Griffin, you should be ashamed that you failed to tell the Lewiston Tribune readers the full truth of what went on in that case. ...
