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 …
CITY: Legal process seriously lacking
It appears from the article suggesting Patriot Front’s Rousseau “got away,” something is amiss at the City Attorney’s Office. Deputy Ryan Hunter failed to get the defense court-required information stating it was b…
IFF: Connecting disturbing dots
In showing the Idaho Freedom Foundation’s position on fentanyl pushers, it exposes the IFF as the fake conservative entity it is, in my opinion.
CAUCUS: Left out and left wondering
I read The Press’s article of Feb. 12, “Republican presidential caucus March 2: What to expect,” and hardly know where to begin in response.
SOS: Needs to review his own statement
The secretary of state should reread his own mission statement. He probably would not have sided with the governor and ended Idaho’s presidential primary. “No man is good enough to govern another man without that o…
MAYORKAS: Kudos to GOP House members
Thank you Republican House members. The House voted to impeach Mayorkas for not fulfilling his duties to protect U.S. citizens. Absolutely zero dollars should be sent to any country until our borders are secure.
‘OPEN LETTER’: To Brent Regan

Reading on the various things to expect with the caucus drew me to the conclusion that many will be denied the opportunity to not only vote in a presidential primary but also in the caucus. Seriously, sign-ins from…
CDA SCHOOLS: Why is enrollment down?
On Jan. 28, this newspaper published an article regarding the $6 million (even with an additional levy funded $5 million) shortfall the Coeur d’Alene School District is due to experience. Four of the six million is…
OPEN PRIMARIES: Deny parties’ right to choose candidate
Separate Voter Fact from Fiction: Post Falls Press Sunday, Feb. 4. The editorial gives an interesting version of primary voting in the state of Idaho, laying out a system that closes the right of each party to choo…
CLN TRUSTEES: Last two should be removed
I can only add one thing to Michelle Lippert’s letter about the library board and that is “recall.” It is the process of getting rid of an elected official that is not doing the job he was hired to do.
RESPONSE: Miller got it right
I want to thank Doug Miller for addressing this awful problem concerning our children. The Press assuredly is part of the problem. They do not have the moral compass that conservatives have as with all liberals. Th…
RESPONSE: Groups chose competence over ideology
In response to James Patterson’s letter to the editor stating he is sticking with the KCRCC recommendations…
LESS TRASH: And better project planning needed
I am wondering what we can do as a community to clean up along the freeway, I-90, especially between Coeur d’Alene and Stateline? Traveling back-and-forth repeatedly, I have noticed it looks horrible. Trash, trash,…
DISCOURAGING AGGRESSION: ‘Mere words…not always enough’
The USA could learn from the history of the Maasai tribe (Kenya, Africa).
