Three years ago, I joined five other former Idaho Attorneys General in describing that important position as “the …
AMADOR: Level-headed for all
In the upcoming election, Coeur d’Alene has the chance to vote for new representation in Boise. I encourage you to join me in voting for Paul Amador for Idaho House of Representatives.

Re: Denny Davis’s quote about “ignite cda” (aka LCDC) on Friday, Sept. 23:
KAHN: Earns Andrus support
Idaho’s second district voters have an opportunity to vote for a true “Andrus Democrat.” I urged Kathy Kahn to run and I endorse her candidacy.
CLINTON: The list goes on
Not only does Hillary’s list get longer, but still continues to go on and on! Rich Lambert’s comments to Readers Write, then Uyless Black’s articles of Sept. 6-8, and now Dale Hedman’s “Bad List Longer” continues!

Tom Hearn is the voice we need to represent us in Boise. By far, he is the most qualified candidate to become our next legislator. Tom is a respected mental health professional who dedicated his career to making li…
REFUGEES: Cost too high
In response to the letter from Mr. Mallory, I wholeheartedly agree with him. Our elected officials are wrong to place the cost of refugees onto the citizens of the United States. Boise’s mayor did just that; those …

BANKS: Rules don't apply
Once again it comes to the streets of America that bigger is not better. A mere two weeks ago, another big bank’s failure to keep the public in its best interest made headlines because of its system to open account…
MILAN: An education champion
Many of my friends and neighbors bemoan the state of the public education system in Idaho. They point out our dismal national ratings, especially in the areas of early childhood education and per pupil spending, an…
DEMOCRATS: Erosion of trust
What has happened to the Democratic Party? When I was younger (a long time ago) I was (as was my family) a Republican. I disagreed with many of the proposals of the Democrats, but I respected their rights and did n…
GOP: Christians aren't welcome
I agree with Dan Campos, a member of First Baptist Church of Alexandria, Va. He says the abandonment of Christian values by the Republican Party is leaving Christians to question their future in a party that once c…
