MY TURN: If you can't stand the heat ...

Ya just gotta feel sorry for poor old attorney Art Macomber who said as quoted in a recent Press article, that because he had faced sharp criticism from the public over his work at North Idaho College, he raised his fee to $400 an hour. He is quoted as saying he just can’t do his very questionable legal work for $325 an hour.

Majority of trustees creating blueprint for destruction

NIC: Christian nationalism behind trustees’ agenda

OMG the majority of the NIC BOT has done it again. They have hired the legal counsel candidate who was least qualified and who was even unwilling to complete the application process. They made thinly veiled comparisons of insignificant issues. It was comparable to using age, weight and height to determine who they should hire. It should be obvious to all who witnessed the show that they were not interested in hiring the most qualified candidate, and someone should have asked them why.

NIC: ‘Deserves to survive and thrive’

West Bonner forensic audit delayed, nonprofit filing draws concern

Initial results from a forensic audit of the West Bonner County School District have been postponed as the auditing firm waits for additional documentation. To prepare the preliminary report, Waldren said the firm needed all data for the audit period of 2018 to 2023 by Aug. 1. However, as of Aug. 25 — the date Eide Bailly planned to deliver the report — some of the data needed had yet to be given to the firm. Also, a Secretary of State filing listing the district as a non-profit has raised concern that some on the WBCSD board are attempting to convert at least part of the district into a charter school. District officials said that is not the case and is merely an effort to move the audit forward.
