OPINION: Fair warning to public school patrons across the Gem State

The Idaho Freedom Foundation may be coming to your school district to carry out its publicly-proclaimed goal of getting the government out of the business of educating our kids.

I imagine they would refer to him as a “RINO” as they do so many of our staunchly conservative neighbors.

Community to library network: Take the tax increase

Many call for keeping programs intact

Accepting a tax increase and future impacts of not doing so were major concerns voiced by community members Thursday evening during the Community Library Network’s budget hearing at the Post Falls Library. Nearly all of the 16 people who spoke during the hearing expressed they are in favor of the board taking a 3% tax increase as allowed by law, which would provide the network with nearly $150,000. Many also shared their desire to keep the Post Falls and Hayden libraries open Sundays.
