BULLARD: Best choice after Sayler

Unfortunately with the retirement of George Sayler from the legislature, the people of North Idaho are losing a real statesman for us in Boise. His intelligent diligence was just what we need as our representative. His willingness to be open minded, look at all sides of an issue, bring reasoned and balanced judgment to difficult issues and make wise decisions with integrity served us all well.

Fortunately, we have the opportunity to elect a person who will also bring all of these attributes to Boise for us: I've known Mike Bullard for many years and his intelligent, honest and thoughtful deliberation will also serve us all well as our representative in Boise. He has the intellect to come up with independent ideas about how to solve some of our most pressing problems. I would highly recommend casting your vote wisely, and send Mike Bullard to Boise to represent us well in the Idaho legislature.
