This is another attempt by Bob Beers to get under Jim Gibbons' skin. If he has taken Beers' bait, that's good for Beers. It's allowing Beers to effectively control the agenda.

The Democrats will try to paint it (the Republican Party) as a whole corrupt operation and say they need to be swept out of office, top to bottom. This will give them some ammunition.

Usually there's more discipline on the Republican side.
