EMERGENCY: Promoters of growth should pay

| May 13, 2026 1:00 AM

I believe the time has come that we re-examine the source of emergency funding in North Idaho.

The incredible growth we are experiencing is revealing a need we have never had in North Idaho. In the past, Idahoans supported the needs of our emergency services as well as law enforcement. We rarely needed a new fire station, but if we did, it was approved by voters. All that has changed. It seems that older folks with grown children, as well as newcomers to the area that have no school age children, are not interested in funding services or school levies.
