Jim Jones sardonically described the Idaho state legislature’s budget process as being “Throwing together feathers, hoping for a duck”


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There is an article by Jim Jones in the Idaho Press on April 4, 2026 titled Jones: Budgeting process - throwing together feathers, hoping for a duck. And in the Lewiston Tribune on April 5, 2026 it similarly was titled OPINION: Idaho’s budgeting process is throwing together feathers, hoping for a duck.

 

He had served both as the Attorney General of Idaho for eight years, and an Idaho Supreme Court Justice for twelve years. Jim Jones has a way with words!

 

The ugly ducking cartoon was adapted from a February 21, 1906 Puck magazine cover at the Library of Congress.
