Cecil D. Andrus, a Democrat, was elected governor of Idaho four times—in 1970, 1974, 1986, and 1990—and served as US Secretary of the Interior under President Carter. I have been involved in government at the state and federal level for a long time and have had my share of political and legal run-ins with government agencies, but rarely in more than 50 years in politics have I encountered a government agency more committed to secrecy—perhaps even deception—than the US Department of Energy. Most citizens of my state know that, since last January, former Republican Governor Phil Batt and I have been raising questions about a plan by the US Department of Energy to bring additional shipments of commercial spent nuclear fuel to the Idaho National Laboratory in eastern Idaho for “research.” http://thebulletin.org/holding-department-energy-accountable-idaho8807
