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 …
LETTERS: Right back at you
Wow, I really must respond to the two letters in last Friday’s paper, one from Oregon and one from Washington.
MASKS: Take it from Dad
An endless thank you to Barb Hallet for telling it like it is with respect to these panty waist, don’t tread on me babies whining about having to wear a mask during a pandemic.
COVID: Yes, it’s a thing
They’re not telling the truth. We don’t want to hear it.
MASKS: So little to ask
I am 100% for wearing a mask out in public. You don’t have to wear a mask to take out the garbage, clean out the garage, mow the grass, etc. Just wear it when going out where there will be other people.
MANDATE: Thanks, Cd’A Council
I am amazed at the number of truly unkind people living in our area. Thank you City Council for passing the mask mandate. It is obvious education did not work.
MANDATE: Right call, Cd’A
Thank you to the City Council for their 90-day mask mandate. I regret that the PHD waived their mask mandate due to pressure from some aggressive individuals.
MASKS: Time to fix the issues
The whole mask debate is tiring and depressing.
TRUMP: And speaking of leaders...
To the thieves who stole my and many, many, so many others’ yard signs, follow your leader.
ADVICE: Check ‘them’ out
I have had no television for more than 30 years. I get my news primarily from the internet and radio.
SHERIFF: Hard to figure
The Sheriff’s race is very tough with charges and counter charges. Finding a reliable source of trustworthy unbiased information makes it doubly tough.
MASKS: All about caring
It was explained to me some time ago that COVID particles are small enough to penetrate the mask.
MASKS: Patriots wear them
Dear Coeur d’Alene Friends: During our seven years in Coeur d’Alene, we gained such respect for the health professionals in the area.
PATIENTS: Stay away from Portland
I’d like to say that as a 68-year-old Portland resident [without “underlying conditions”] I heard, with sadness and anger, of the decision by your regional health board to end any mask mandate, and likely any serio…
TRUMP: The death of decency
I’m sickened that our president lacks honesty, respect, honor, compassion, decency and most of all, integrity.
MANDATES: Enough of the hysteria
Discussions (or hysterical reactions devoid of reason) of mask mandates continue to routinely neglect the following county data (and all data, for that matter): 43 deaths. 3,646 confirmed cases. 43/3,646 = .01. Wh…
