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 …
PARKING: Do the right thing
Why is it that some drivers believe that it is their right to park in a designated disabled parking spot as well as blocking curb cuts? There are folks who cannot navigate many feet to get in or out of a vehicle or…
NIC: Christian nationalism behind trustees’ agenda
OMG the majority of the NIC BOT has done it again. They have hired the legal counsel candidate who was least qualified and who was even unwilling to complete the application process. They made thinly veiled compari…

BONE MARROW DONATION: A humbling gift
I had the honor to serve as an anonymous donor in 1990. At that time, I lived in the Peoples Republic. My recipient was a 26-year-old middle school teacher in Delaware. His name was Vince. With a successful transpl…
