Three years ago, I joined five other former Idaho Attorneys General in describing that important position as “the …
CITYLINK: Should have service to Spokane
“CITYLINK” Coeur d’Alene needs a bus route to Spokane. Many people live and work in both states. This also would save on the amount of traffic and pollution.
TOWN HALL: Stranger Danger!
We recently read of the goings-on at the recent KCRCC town hall (yes, we’re still keeping tabs), and when we read that Ms. Borrenpohl may have bitten her assaulter, we thought “good for her.” We taught our daughter…
CULTURE WARS: A distraction
There’s been a lot of talk about making America great again. What could we do that would make America “great?” Is it bullying our neighbors? Is it threatening other nations while cozying up to authoritative regimes…
DISSENT: The foundation of progress
At the town hall on Saturday, Feb. 22, the KCRCC’s bully-in-chief Ed Bejarana, said the quiet part out loud: “Your voice is meaningless.” That sentiment has become the foundation of the KCRCC’s echo chamber, where …

TOWN HALL: Many constituents felt unheard
I attended the KCRCC’s Town Hall on Saturday, Feb. 22, but was disappointed that the event was anything but that. By definition, a town hall is a meeting during which attendees are allowed to voice their opinions a…
HB 93: Welfare for the affluent
I’m mad about Idaho’s big spending and giveaways! Most of us pay for highways, State police, and costs of government in Boise. But Idaho’s HB93, just passed by both houses, say some people won’t pay a nickel. If a …
CLN: Why talk down to constituents?
Hanley told his constituents at the library board meeting on Feb. 20 to “suck it up and deal with it” when they expressed concerns about what the board is doing.

The young lady screaming and being disruptive at the KCRCC meeting on Saturday was removed because of her loud disrespectful speech.
BOE: Each region should be represented
My name is Avery Dix and I am 13 years old. I am writing to express my opinion on one of the subjects that is printed in the Coeur d’Alene/Post Falls Press.
TRUMP: Where are the Republicans?
In one month, Trump and Billionaire President Musk have managed to fire as many people as they could from as many agencies as possible…
mRNA BAN: Protect the right to access and refusal
I am shocked to learn that the Idaho Senate is considering a bill that would outright ban mRNA vaccines in the state for 10 years. Banning mRNA vaccines would make the COVID vaccine unavailable to people, like my w…
