TURNOUT: No vote, no whine

So Kootenai County had roughly a 23 percent voter turnout, which means around 15 percent of registered voters decided that we should stay the course. Idaho, bottom of America’s barrel when it comes to education and livable wages, and it appears we like it that way. A world full of complainers and not even 1 in 4 people bothered themselves with something as important as the election of our “representatives.” That says a lot about us, doesn’t it?

Shame on every person who didn’t vote. You may now keep your pie hole shut.
