Movers & Shakers

Movers & Shakers

OPINION: Hate lost

We have the election results and all of the Kootenai County Republican Central Committee (KCRCC) Recommended Candidates won their races. KCRCC Recommended Candidates Leslie Duncan, Marc Eberlein, Bob Norris, Carl Bjerke and Elaine Price won their competitive races by wide margins. This is a repeat of the 2022 primary where all of the KCRCC Recommended Candidates won in Kootenai County.

OPINION: Celebrating a victory for us all

Election shows how every single vote counts

CDA: Dystopian picture off base

In reading K. Buechner’s post in Sunday’s Coeur d’Alene Press, I felt almost depressed at the picture that was painted of the current state of Coeur d’Alene, the activities available, and the businesses that were named.

HOUSING: Hear what people want

Commissioners want more “affordable housing.” As a young adult growing up here in the service industry, most are single and don’t want the tie-down or responsibility of homeownership, just a small AFFORDABLE studio/1-2 bedroom. A lot of retired/ widowed want the same.

ECONOMICS: Paint an accurate picture

In the May 2 article “Little touts support for education…” our governor continues to display his willful ignorance of the true economic condition of our state.

HIGHWAYS: Officials taking wrong route

Well, here we go again. The infamous engineers of the Idaho Highway Department have again got their priorities completely our of order. Maybe they should go back to school and learn about traffic surveys and the like.

OPINION: Far-right GOP primary wins make supporting Democrats essential

Democracies are unhealthy without a balance of power between the parties and accountability at the ballot box. Sadly, Idaho’s ruling party is steadily moving deeper into extremism, fueled by low-turnout closed primaries that attract extreme conservative voters far outside the mainstream and millions in out-of-state spending from far-right extremists.

Gas station fuels dispute, but project gets green light

MY TURN: Why primary initiative is right for Idaho

Engage in facts, not fearmongering.
