LEGISLATURE: Pay bills, get out of way

| March 25, 2015 9:00 PM

Cuts both ways? The first page of the CDA Press, March 17, 2015, carried an article about the Idaho State Senate endorsing legislation banning local government regulations on carrying or using knives. It was noted that the office of the State Attorney General warned that this conflicts with current state laws — I guess there was no research done by the backers of the bill.

Another case of government interference in the lives of people and local government, i.e., micromanagement. The Legislature in Boise needs to do their job and properly fund the schools and get out of the way of local government and school district business so they can do their job!
