PHARMACIES: PBMs are killing independent owners
As a local pharmacist, it was refreshing for me to see an article in The Press about the challenges facing pharmacies today. Low insurance reimbursement does not affect only rural pharmacies, however, but is leadin…
PRIDE: God created the joyous complexity of life
I was happy I could have a booth at the Pride in the Park event last Saturday. It was a fun and festive event. I am disappointed, but not surprised, at the number of negative letters to the editor this event engend…

Thank you for the kind and accurate article about the pride in the park event! It was a loving and fair article!
PRIDE: We choose love
We were extremely distressed to read the many Letters to the Editor protesting Coeur d’Alene’s recent Pride celebration. Many of the writers stated that this event did not represent Coeur d’Alene. We disagree!

PRIDE: Event doesn’t represent Coeur d’Alene
You have the audacity to include me and others that do not support your article at all. Please find better ways of labeling your ideology with all of Coeur d’Alene residence.

My thoughts — National debt? Paid in full!
