PLASS: Does not rhyme with class

I have been hesitant to write this letter, but I believe it is important for the citizens of Kootenai County to hear my story about the Community Library Network. Last year in July, a friend of mine posted on a popular website that she had seen Trustees Plass, Ottosen and Hanley meeting at a local coffee shop. This raised suspicion as it would violate Idaho Open Meeting Laws.

'We're so sorry:' Borah Elementary to close

Coeur d'Alene trustees vote to repurpose school

Borah Elementary School's days are numbered. Tears were wiped from faces and sniffles could be heard Monday evening as trustees of the Coeur d'Alene School District unanimously voted to accept a recommendation to repurpose the school as a way to save the district money as it addresses an expected $6 million shortfall for fiscal year 2025.

EDITORIAL: Rating system deserves a solid 'F'

Failure to support those who would lead with distinction

NIR: What do they stand for?

Jack Riggs, M.D.’s opinion piece from April 26 left me wondering whether any of the North Idaho Republicans have ever criticized the policies and ideology of the Democrat Party. Also, I have read opinions from Michael Baker, and he gives the impression that he is ideologically on the left.
