ENDORSEMENT: Vote for Bauman
For newcomers to our community who have ordered a newspaper subscription so you can be informed about what’s going on in our town, don’t be alarmed if you feel confused. Not knowing the ‘history’ of the different groups that are competing for your attention puts you at a disadvantage. Allow me to oversimplify things for you.
There are four political parties in Idaho: Independent, Democrat, Faux Republican, and Republican. The Faux Republicans, AKA "North Idaho Republicans," create sample ballots to send out to Republican voters featuring Democrat endorsed candidates. They constantly start new groups depending on the need and attend conservative-led meetings to agitate and disrupt them. Sound familiar? The newest group they’ve created is called the “Library Alliance of North Idaho.” The need? To get their left-wing progressive candidate elected to the Community Library Network governing board. She attends the public meetings with her supporters, and, as one of our current library board trustees puts it, advocates for “smut in the children’s section.” She calls this “academic freedom.”
