SPECTRUM: In a word, bull
Re: Spectrum doubles speeds; rates stand pat. What a load of equine excrement! I can’t believe that The Press has the audacity to print this deceitful advertorial as an actual news article.
TRUCKS: Canines aren't cargo
This letter is for the person whose classified ad looking for their missing dog ran in the paper recently. I am truly sorry you lost your dog, but to be honest I am a lot sorrier for the dog than I am for you. If y…

As a Kootenai County resident with family in Coeur d’Alene and Hayden, I was alarmed to learn that, due to overcrowded prisons, the Idaho Department of Corrections is pushing hard for placement of a pre-parolee rel…
OPEN ARMS: Animals vs. humans
I have noticed twice recently front page and prominent headlines elsewhere in The Press promoting the new animal shelter in Hayden, along with a fundraiser at the Hagadone Event Center. I think it is admirable that…
TRUMP: Tongue-in-cheek critique
It seems these days I can be whoever I want. For the purpose of this letter I will identify as a member of the Soros funded group of radical, violent, extremists called Antifa who are actual Fascists claiming to be…

IMPEACHMENT: Now hear this
A year or two ago, Nancy Pelosi said you cannot impeach Trump just because he is a jerk. Now she is all in for impeachment. Why?

TRUMP: Omissions from rally
Let’s set the record straight on The Press article “Unimpeachable Support” from Friday, Oct. 18. Tom Henderson said, “We’re here to show support for our president. I think he’s done amazing things.”
ALLIES: A word to the wise
The time is long past due for America to stiffen her back, speak the truth and show the world that when the U.S. speaks, she means what she says.
BERNSTEIN: The ethical option
This letter is in response to the Oct. 17 front-page article about Jillian Bernstein in the Coeur d’Alene Press. How this kind of article rates as front-page news is beyond me.
SALVAGE: Been there, resolved that
The issue of salary salvage was addressed in 2013 by the BOCC or Todd Tondee, Jai Nelson and myself. The issue came before us when then County Clerk Cliff Hayes distributed year end bonuses to some of his staff wit…
HEALTH CARE: I can see clearly now
