We District 4 voters can improve the quality of representation in the Idaho legislature immensely by electing Paula Marano running to be our state representative.
PROP 1: RCV complicates voting
As a concerned citizen, I urge my fellow Idahoans to vote against Proposition 1. While it’s being promoted as a solution to improve elections, the reality is far more troubling. Proposition 1 introduces ranked choi…
PROP 1: The hidden truth
If you want 4-5 Democratic Party families in charge of Idaho, vote for Prop 1. Prop 1 allows elites with money to control who will run for office. They (the elites) say that our system now is not fair to Independen…
PROP 1: Unpredictable costs to taxpayer
I likely had more invested in the outcome of the 1992 presidential election than most reading this paper. I worked for George HW Bush and lost my job. I credit Ross Perot for that outcome. But for peddlers of Prop …
FIRE LEVY: How much does the grant affect the bottom line?
My November 2024 Absentee Ballot is in the mail to me. One item on that will be a two-year override levy for the Northern Lakes Fire District. The Lucky 13 article mentions that a grant expires in March of 2026 but…

DEMOCRATS: They’re finished
The DNC is history. I watched most of it and it was very painful to do so. Tylenol helped. Joy and hope and hate Trump were the DNC’s main talking points. Hope and absolute joy for all in the next four years with a…
PROP 1: You shouldn’t have to join a party to vote
Having to belong to a political party to be able to vote in a primary, is exactly like having to belong to a UNION to be able to work.
PROP 1: It makes no sense
Proposition 1 boils down to this. Those supporting it won’t affiliate with the official Republican party because they disagree with its platform, values and vision.
PROP 1: It isn’t about open primaries
I have been searching desperately for a source of news and opinion in North Idaho that actually represents the generally conservative opinion of the good citizens of North Idaho.
ENDORSEMENT: Vote for Knudtsen
I am writing in support of Eve Knudtsen, who is currently running against Greg McKenzie, in her efforts to support North Idaho College from losing accreditation due to the MAGA efforts of the current Republicans wh…
TRUMP: Two choices for Republicans
Over the last few weeks, it has become clear that the rhetoric and the overt deception of the Trump campaign is accelerating as election day approaches.
ENDORSEMENT: Vote Havercroft, Durbin, Knudtsen
To preserve North Idaho College and protect its accreditation, please vote for Mary Havercroft, Rick Durbin and Eve Knudtsen as trustees.
ABORTION: Choose life instead
In a recent Opinion piece, Evan Koch, chairman of the Kootenai County Democratic Party, takes on the role of an apologist for the multi-billion dollar abortion industry. He states that abortion is a “life saving pr…
ENDORSEMENT: Vote for Marano
Having lived in Coeur d’Alene for over 50 years, I feel privileged to have known of the Marano’s for almost that long. Judge Marano was fair-minded and ruled with consideration of the best outcome for both the plai…
