2020: The Democrats' dream

Allen Mazur’s letter, Democrats Deserve 2020 Support, is a joke. Mazur and his liberal ilk want you to accept open borders, late and after birth abortions, dismantling our Constitution’s protection of free speech, self-defense, protection from illegal searches and seizures, eliminating the Electoral College so only the largest populated states elect the president, lowering the voting age to 16, eliminating free will via government controlled/monitoring from birth to death, and finally socialism which has never worked because only those in power benefit. Everyone else loses.

Looking at the legality of SB 1159

The last few weeks in the Idaho Legislature have left a lot of us feeling hopeless. We’ve all heard about Senate Bill 1159, which would essentially put an end to any grassroots ballot initiatives in Idaho. We’ve heard that this bill was instigated by a paid lobbyist from Moneytree. We’ve heard that it is backlash and a direct result of the citizen-driven passage of the Medicaid Expansion initiative in November. Instead of asking why our legislators have betrayed us, my first instinct as a paralegal is to examine the legality of the bill and whether it would hold up in court.

Hormone replacement: Encouraging laziness - Part I

Hormone replacement is so common today that you’d think we can’t live without it. For some, that’s true, but what have we done for thousands of years before we started hormone replacement? Is there truly more of a need for it then there was for thousands of years until now? And if so, why? When you look at some of the risks, we have to question the wisdom of forcing man-created hormones on our delicate bio-feedback network that plays such a critical role in the balance of our endocrine (hormonal) system. Does hormone replacement therapy (HRT) encourage laziness in a system that strives at all costs to be balanced?

In fact, although not reported in the Coeur d’Alene Press account of the candidates’ forum at Candlelight Church prior to last May’s primary, Mr. Brooks displayed disdain for anyone who supported the opt-out — sarcastically opining that perhaps we should eliminate all building safety codes — a proposition which no one was suggesting.

Food allergies are classified as a severe medical condition, as the symptoms associated with this particular food can range from mild to life-threatening anaphylaxis shock.

It can start with itching, eczema, stomach issues, headache and congestion, and if it’s bad enough it can become severe with hives; swelling of the mouth, throat and tongue, and difficulty breathing.

PROP 2: Say what, senator?

I became confused after reading Friday’s Press (A5). I found a Guest Opinion by Sen. Mary Souza discussing a variety of issues. One was the changes the Legislature were making in Senate Bill 1159 to make it more difficult for the public to be successful in passing those “pesky” initiatives. I can certainly understand why legislators don’t want people stirring up the water in their pond. However, the senator then went on to say “I realized, then, that many folks aren’t clear on the initiative process. Once it has enough signatures and passes election, the initiative bypasses the Legislature entirely and is signed into law, or not, by the governor.”

In that lawsuit, Mr. Soumas states he was terminated as a result of “trumped up charges” related to an alleged whistle blower complaint.

If the moisture that fell in December and January would have been mostly snow, then our snow total would be much higher.

According to an article in the March 1 Press, the Idaho Department of Transportation experienced a $406 million shortfall in covering the cost of highway maintenance during fiscal 2018. Much of that cost can be attributed to the damage done by studded tires. The studs are especially damaging to concrete bridges. The ruts caused by these tires are dangerous, especially for front-wheel drive vehicles during rainy weather.

For two years, we’ve pleaded with the city to follow those same procedures. They’ve refused, contrary to the advice of their own legal experts.

DALTON: Reject the recall

The current recall of the Dalton Gardens mayor and entire council is tearing our community apart. Neighbors who once smiled and waved are now placing bold, red Recall signs in their snowy, front yards.

Like it or not, the Dalton Gardens recall is happening. The Press editorial, refusing to acknowledge the merits of the recall demands that to avoid unpleasant feelings there be no recall, instead waiting for a future election in which only three of the five seats will be up for election. No doubt the Press writer would have argued that President Nixon should not have been impeached, and instead of forced resignation should have served out his term of office, until the next election. Or that an unsafe airline pilot nearing retirement be allowed to continue without correction.

DALTON: Reasons against recall

I and my fellow residents of the city of Dalton Gardens are being asked on March 12 to vote on whether to recall our mayor and entire city council. Removing our duly elected mayor and council will not “save” Dalton Gardens. It will instead place our future in the hands of an outside authority (the Governor), who will appoint their replacements.
