OPINION: The tangled web we weave

In his June 5 Op-Ed, former Attorney General and State Supreme Court Justice Jim Jones opines on the alleged failure of Attorney General Raul Labrador in adhering to the Idaho Rules of Professional Conduct for attorneys related to client representation.

MY TURN: Carping critics

Has anyone else grown weary of the small group of faultfinders who attend every North Idaho College board meeting? Their repetitive diatribes and sometimes cheeky behavior are frustrating for those waiting their turn to speak. They frequently remind us that Dr. South, who has been invaluable in navigating accreditation, is still on staff. They seem unaware that it was Dr. South’s team of experts and effective action steps which quickly moved the college in the right direction last year. He also has a contract that runs through June. Regrettably, this whole ‘risk of losing’ accreditation scheme has been a big expense for the college, and completely unnecessary. You do not have to be a mystic or even a philosopher to understand what has happened and why. But you do have to use discernment to know which of the “stakeholders" are obscuring the truth.
