REBUTTAL: Seeking bliss
Mr. Gressler, we’ve never met, but I feel we are getting to know one another pretty well. May I call you Danny? No? Fine.
ELECTION: More voters, please
School trustees, so much smoke, they don’t want the voting dates changed because we the people would be more likely to show up to the polls, therefore voting against continued requests for more taxpayer money. Hooe…
AVISTA: Cause for concern
The July 25 My Turn article by Mr. Hunt tells of the concerns about selling Avista to a foreign country. One question I have is how will Avista handle the exchange between Canada’s and U.S. money? What would happen…
TRUMP: Don't be surprised

NEWBIES: Now hear this
A word to all you newbies to Coeur d’Alene:
CITY: Just 9 inches
Isn’t this the perfect example of pure cronyism? It’s just a little bit outside the rules and besides, according to Mr. Hammond, “this building sat vacant for 20 years without collecting taxes.”
THANKS: For all this
What wonderful and caring people reside in North Idaho. Here are just a few examples I’ve encountered recently:
COMMENTS: Hard to resist
I’m a 68-year-old with control of most of my faculties. I have two Facebook accounts, but recently deleted all my Friends except for my sister and that’s only because she knows where I live. No Twitter for me. But …
