I want to begin this column by extending warm greetings to Mr. Flores. He recently wrote a letter to the editor that included kind words about my previous columns, along with thoughtful concerns about what Democratic policies might mean for North Idaho. I appreciate both the courtesy and the candor. Even when we disagree, being willing to speak respectfully is what makes a healthy community work.

Although national and international headlines dominate the news cycle, politics is ultimately local. The roads we drive on, the schools our children attend, the public lands we enjoy and the neighbors we care about are all here, in this place. North Idaho is unique.
