But somehow, running for a legislative seat doesn’t seem to be the best way to get that.

But what the story didn’t say was that, if elected, Novakovich hopes to curtail his activities in running his printing company in Kennewick, freeing him up for other activities, including the occasional vacation.

He said he typically spends a couple days a month in Northeast Oregon, though he hasn’t been there since May, and tries to squeeze in meetings with some of the boards he’s on during “the brief, in-and-out, times we’re there.”

So, yes, he does hope to spend more time there.

“I’d just like to take time off,” he said.

So aside from the obvious IRS tax code violation (not his violation but he should at least pipe up) of having his campaign sign on the Richland Baptist Church property, Skip Novakovick is running for the 8th LD seat so he can take a vacation in Eastern Oregon?

I hate to be so hard on the guy and I’d much rather set my sights on the complete whackjob that is Brad Klippert, but that is fucking stupid.
