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 …
KCRCC: Denying racial incident par for course
I had to check the date on Brent Regan’s last opinion piece titled “Hate on Display” to see if it was April 1. Nope, he really is trying to downplay the incident and somehow claiming that Christie Wood orchestrated…
GUNS: Suggestions to those in power
I’ve heard your speeches regarding “reasonable” gun laws to cut down on violence. Would you consider disarming your secret service detail of their semi-automatic and automatic firearms to accomplish your goals?
INCIDENT: How much coverage is enough?
How much press time do you give to two idiots in vehicles that shouted the “N” word? There is no question they are lowlifes, but to give them press time just encourages them. Now that it is front-page news, more pe…
HAYDEN: Urban renewal worries
As a longtime resident of Hayden, I’m surprised that more people are not concerned about the accountability and transparency of the Urban Renewal District. It seems that our Hayden City Council representative, Sand…
TOWER: Council misses the mark
I was gobsmacked when I read “Sherman Tower Going Up.” As I continued to read, I became incensed that the City Council “unanimously” approved this monstrosity!
SHERIFF: Showdown features a no-show
On Thursday, March 14, Sheriff Bob Norris invited challenger Dan Wilson to a “throw down” to address the unsubstantiated allegations leveled against the sheriff by Mr. Wilson. The sheriff offered a (personal) $1,00…
KCRCC: A path to not follow
You only have to look at the recent CLN debacle to realize that following the recommendation of the current KCRCC most likely has issues.
KH: Another fan shares the love
Like Ted Macaulay, my surgery at Kootenai Health couldn’t have been better.
FLAG: Picking on the wrong target
Responding to Phil Ward and his slanted liberal view that the Gadsden Flag is racist and he includes it along with the confederate flag. I’m surprised that you didn’t include the American Flag as racist too. The Ga…
REGAN: Take another look, folks
Brent Regan takes the cake. He earns the prize for the most maligned individual in the Coeur d’Alene Press. I read the letters to the editor each day. And a week doesn’t go by that someone isn’t blasting how horrib…
RACISM: Fight back in May 21 election
I just returned from Maryland. While there, I visited the Harriet Tubman Museum. Being from North Idaho, I never had a good understanding of how slaves lived and were treated. It opened my eyes.
RACISM: Not hard to connect dots
What a horrible face a few radical dimwits put on Coeur d’Alene and North Idaho. The almost unbelievable treatment given to our honored guests, the University of Utah basketball team competing in the prestigious NC…
ISSUES: One superb, the other a monstrosity
I would like to make two comments that have been on my mind.
ELECTION: Time now to do your research
We have corruption in all walks of organized people-controlled society. This corruption is within our religious churches, libraries, school boards, medical boards, city councils, county, state, federal governments …
NOISE: Sounding off on some concerns
In response to Mr. Steed, I agree with most your comment because I didn’t just build a house by the airport, bucko. I’ve been in my 1947 home in the Garden District Coeur d’Alene for 25 years. My husband was born a…
