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 …
GOP: Head's up?
Dear KCRCC and Brent Regan,
LETTER: Blasted great man
The Coeur d’Alene Press printed a very troubling, perhaps dangerous, letter on Wednesday, April 4, which maligned Phil Cernera, Lake Management Director for the Coeur d’Alene Tribe.
ZAGS: Worth a mention
This is for Kerri Thoreson. I know that your kitchen was very important, but not one word about our wonderful ZAGS. I thought one little word would have been nice.
HEALTH: A case of theft
Theft is considered morally and ethically wrong in most segments of society. In the segment dictated by medical insurance companies, however, these same ethics do not apply. Since it occurs behind the scenes, most …

USPS: In us you trust
The U.S. Postal Service is building a positive America. We do this with postage sales, not your tax dollars. The Constitution provides you with a service with deliveries six, and in some places, seven days a week a…

As we sail into new governmental waters, I would like to take a minute to look back and express my gratitude for all the service Hillary Clinton has rendered to our country.
TRUMP: Give him time
Regarding John Strobel’s March 28 letter, “The Presidency So Far”:
