McEUEN: In a word, folks, tough

| March 13, 2013 9:00 PM

You don’t like the $20 million McEuen Field makeover? Tough! You don’t like the hydroplane races coming back to CDA? Tough! You don’t like that the previously defeated Luna laws are being reintroduced? Tough! You don’t like that the governor and state legislators have abrogated their constitutional responsibility to fund education and shifted that burden onto the backs of local school districts and taxpayers? Tough! You don’t like that the governor wants to shift $141 million in taxes from corporations onto all of us? Tough! You don’t like Idaho paying the lowest wages in the nation? Tough!

Yep folks, times in old Idaho sure are tough!
