STORY: Missed a key ingredient

I had such hope seeing Jeff Selle at the central committee meeting this week, listening to Gubernatorial Candidate Senator Russ Fulcher address the committeemen. Last month, you and I discussed how Mr. Selle completely ignored Lt. Governor candidate Jim Chmelik’s excellent presentation on the Idaho Lands issue at the last Central Committee meeting. You wrote that you would “talk to Jeff about this.” I thought surely, this time and after your talk, Mr. Selle would at least mention in his March 26th article that one of the Idaho gubernatorial candidates was in town. But no.

We lament that the politicians in Boise ignore the residents in the north, but when they do visit, the press ignores them. Not even a “Don’t let the door hit you in the backside on your way out.” Nothing. Very sad. Pathetic, actually.

Look at this objectively for a moment. You have three things, listed in order of consequence:

1) The guy who may be the next governor addresses the KCRCC. This will affect every resident in the county (and the State).

2) The KCRCC passes a resolution calling for a change in the Republican Presidential Caucus nomination process. This will affect every Republican in the county (and the State).

3) A committeeman has their knickers in a twist over some wording of the KCRCC minutes. These minutes will likely never be read again.

We get an article on the least important issue, a sentence on the caucus, and NOTHING on the subject of greatest consequence. Journalism? LOL! Tear...
