Idaho's lieutenant governor issues vaccine executive order while gov is away; Little says he will rescind it
Fox News
Idaho Lt. Gov. Janice McGeachin on Tuesday issued an executive order banning vaccine mandates and required coronavirus testing in schools and colleges in the state, prompting Gov. Brad Little to say he had not authorized her to act on his behalf while he was at the U.S-Mexico border.
"I am in Texas performing my duties as the duly elected Governor of Idaho, and I have not authorized the Lt. Governor to act on my behalf," Little said in a statement on Tuesday. "I will be rescinding and reversing any actions taken by the Lt. Governor when I return." He is expected back in the state on Wednesday.
In Idaho, the governor and lieutenant governor don’t run on the same ticket and McGeachin and Little have previously butted heads. She is also running for governor in 2022.
