LARSEN: Stands up for education

This is to recommend David Larsen for Idaho Legislator District 5 Seat A in the November election. I have known David for many years. I have personally seen him attending many meetings for many hours working for a better life for we the people here in North Idaho and working tirelessly toward the best education for our children. We retired folks need the best educated children to maintain our prosperity in the years to come.

Many years ago David proposed the elimination of sales tax exemptions that, if his recommendations would have been followed, would have resulted in a decent budget for education in Idaho. David is a caring educator with a great deal of old-fashioned common sense.

If you agree with me that the incumbents have made a mess of Idaho's budget and are leading this state down the road toward third-class statehood, then vote for David Larsen.
