QUALIFIED: And can't get a job

Discrimination is alive and well in the state of Idaho and its communities. Age discrimination and disability discrimination, that is. How do I know this? Because I have been applying for work via the state of Idaho and cities within the state as well as with private companies for the past four years. I have a current (2010) Bachelors degree in Business Administration and Marketing. I also have over 20 years experience as a business owner as well as 15 years experience as an office manager, operations manager, administrative assistant and have been involved in my communities as member of BOD’s, Committee Chairman, Treasurer, volunteer creator and Editor-in-Chief of newsletter publications for community groups and have years of public speaking experience. I am also earning a Master’s degree online.

How liberals can really make a difference

On Thanksgiving Day I had the misfortune of reading a "My Turn" article published in the Nov. 27, 2013 Press by Jimmy Pappas. The article caught my attention when I read the charge he made about a "cut and slash agenda" when referring to spending on food stamps, Meals on Wheels, Head Start, Social Security, etc. all federal programs. Mr. Pappas is apparently not aware of how Baseline budgeting for federal programs work. As a tax person, I have to deal in law and facts. Here are the facts that clarify what "cut or slashed spending" really means.

Stuck on the auto-renewal merry-go-round?

Since writing about the need for laws prohibiting automatically renewing contracts, especially for items, services and subscriptions online, many customers have called me and reported that, after checking, they found that they had unknowingly “agreed” to perpetually renew various subscriptions without their explicit annual agreement. Many consumers, some with my help, waded through the small print and turned off the auto-renew feature on the websites, potentially saving themselves hundreds of dollars.
