Idaho Lt. Gov. McGeachin issues sweeping executive order banning so-called vaccine passports for schools and universities — an order Gov. Little says he will reverse as soon as he returns to the state.
"Before I even left the state, the Lt. Governor unabashedly requested information from the Adjutant General to deploy our National Guard to the border, the same place I am visiting today to work with my fellow Republican governors on solutions to the crisis," he said, calling her apparent attempt to deploy troops"political grandstanding" and an"affront to the Idaho constitution.
Major Gen. Michael J. Garshak, the head of the Idaho National Guard, rebuffed McGeachin's request for information about how to activate the guard. The incident wasn't the first time McGeachin took advantage of Little's absence from the state to loosen coronavirus safety restrictions.
