OPINION: Just like everyone else, Idaho’s Attorney General must comply with the law
Three years ago, I joined five other former Idaho Attorneys General in describing that important position as “the …
McEUEN: Ron stands up for us
I am writing this for two reasons. One is to disprove an old saying, and the other is to say thank you.
McEUEN: Three cheers for leaders
I applaud the McEuen Park Steering Committee and the Coeur d'Alene City Council for their vision and courage in conceiving and supporting a grand plan for the redevelopment of McEuen Park, a plan that does justice …
McEUEN: Press wasn't objective
It was interesting reading our local newspapers' versions of the McEuen Field makeover meeting held on Tuesday, May 24. Kudos to the Spokesman's Northwest section as it reported the proceedings much more objectivel…
McEUEN: Recall petitions needed
It is amazing how, over the objections of the taxpayers and voters of Coeur d'Alene, the mayor has pushed through her plan to steal McEuen Field and the Third Street Boat Ramp.
McEUEN: Edinger breath of fresh air
My letter will be brief.
LIGHT: Bring it back to Sherman
I want to know why on Earth they removed the light at the corner of Fifth and Sherman.

DARTS: Put blame where it belongs

ISRAEL: Myth of Palestine
President Obama erroneously states that Israel should give to the Palestinians all the land acquired after the 1967 war.
McEUEN: Shoved down public's throat
I had a gut feeling that the McEuen Field project was going to become a reality as soon as I heard about it. It was going to be shoved down our throats just like "Obamacare."
KENNEDY: Clarify McEuen comment
In Wednesday's newspaper The Press quoted me about the vote on McEuen Park being a tough one, and that I could lose support if I voted for the plan.
ED REFORM: Let's follow Hoosier lead
Recently, Idaho lawmakers passed legislation to empower parents and children to improve Idaho's educational system. The state of Indiana has just enacted legislation which finally will break the "hold" teachers uni…
McEUEN: Looks like a winner
I like the new McEuen Park concepts. I grew up on Young Avenue, practically with Tubbs Hill as my backyard. We kids played there constantly and I still pay my taxes in Kootenai County.
SERVICE: Show due respect
"No greater love hath any man who lays down his life for another."
McEUEN: A win for everyone
I appreciate the countless hours of dedicated work done by all those who participated in the planning and review of the McEuen Park Plan.
