OTTER: EO's shortcomings
Governor Otter touts his executive order on health care as a way to restore choice and competition to the insurance market, but his action couldn’t be further off base. Undoubtedly, the burden will be passed along …

In the Coeur d’Alene Press article “Where there’s water, danger lurks” by Steve Cameron, he talks about the Lancaster family’s comments about a barrier being installed at Hayden Lake boat ramp. I understand what th…
