PROP 1: Two issues mixed together
California has an open primary system. We lived there for a time and got to see how it really works.
ELECTION: Vote for Harris/Walz
I know a vote for HARRIS/WALZ will save Idaho’s taxpayer, union workers and gun owners…
REGAN: Opinions are not facts
Brent Regan’s column in the Oct. 18 Press is titled “OPINION: NIC accreditation facts.” His opinions, however, are not facts. I offer the following points to counter his misleading statements.
ENDORSEMENT: Vote for Paula Marano
Having worked with Paula for many years, I have found her to be the most honest, thorough thinking, thoughtful, balanced person I have ever worked with.
ENDORSEMENT: Vote for Lyons, McKenzie, Angiletta
I appreciate all the hard work the conservative boards of North Idaho College have been doing these past few years. NIC is now doing very well. For about 12 years, the enrollment has been in decline. Something need…
FIRE LEVY: Desperately needs to pass
In the Hayden area, we have passed the Northern Lakes Fire levy several times with over 60% of the vote but that’s not enough, it takes 66% I believe. We need desperately to pass it this time.
PROP 1: Vote no on ranked-choice voting
I am voting NO on Proposition 1, and I would invite my fellow Idahoans to join me. Prop 1 would implement ranked choice voting in Idaho, an election system that is confusing and nearly impossible to audit. Ranked c…
ENDORSEMENT: Vote for Angiletta
Imagine you need brain surgery and you were shopping for a brain surgeon. Would you pick the one that has been the most successful doing the kind of surgery you need or would you pick the one that has lived in your…
DEMOCRATS: They don’t offer hope or progress
I am disheartened reading articles by Gil Beyer, Evan Koch and Jim Jones, preaching to vote Democrat. Mr. Beyer wants more “hope and progress.” More hope and progress like Harris has delivered the last 4 years?
SCHOOL LEVY: Vote for the future of community
Two years ago, I felt the immense pressure of a school caving in as the community it educates retracted its support. Fortunately, after student voices were heard, the supplemental levy passed. Since then, I have mo…
PROP 1: Don’t be fooled
Would you head to the polls this November if you knew your vote could be thrown in the trash? Of course not.
ENDORSEMENT: Vote for levy, Marano, Durbin, Knudtsen, Havercroft
Thousands of people have relocated to Coeur d’Alene in the past five years because they see what a wonderful place it is.
TRUMP VOTERS: Pro Fascism?
“He is the most dangerous person ever. I had suspicions when I talked to you about his mental decline and so forth, but now I realize he’s a total fascist. He is now the most dangerous person to this country.”
HOLIDAY: It’s Columbus Day
Just a quick comment. It was Columbus Day on Monday. Not Indigenous People’s Day.
ENDORSEMENT: Vote for Sauter
Mark’s record of getting things done for North Idaho needs to continue. In 2024, he voted for 6 Idaho agriculture related bills that were signed into law. He co-sponsored legislation creating a depredation fund to …
