Idahoans have been suffering from increases in property tax, especially over the last few years. The cost of people moving here from out of state, and the impact that has on our city infrastructures has only added to this burden. There are two bills currently being held in committees that would help ease the burden […]
It seems to me as a non-lawyer that two very important issues are misunderstood by citizens but also by our elected and appointed officials in government. The open meeting laws and requirements for disclosure prior to discussing business between several members of a committee or council even though the meeting was spontaneous and not about […]
It is amazing to us that we are considering a $25 million dollar levy for the Coeur d’Alene School District in a vacuum with no context of what has transpired over the last three years. We are nearing the anniversary of the Covid-19 panic and in hindsight one of the worst mistakes made by leaders […]
I would like to offer a “tip of the hat” to my friends at The Idaho Freedom Foundation. In an article published two days ago, the authors Fred Birnbaum, Ronald Nate PhD., and Niklas Kleinworth outline in a policy paper entitled MEDCAID IN IDAHO: A POLICY PRIMER the predicate, the unfulfilled promise, the financial house […]
The new Education Freedom Bill, which has garnered a fair amount of support and opposition, has passed the Senate Education Committee with a do pass recommendation. S1038 would essentially create an Education Savings Account (ESA) of roughly $6,000 per child, giving the parent more options in choosing an educational setting for their child, K-12th grade. […]
“Big Education” Union Bosses and their minions are hard at work spreading fear and false information about Senate Bill 1038, Freedom in Education Savings Accounts. Powerful education unions cling to their monopoly control of education and seem more interested in indoctrinating your children with their leftist ideology than teaching them. They fear that with the […]
Idaho has been making some significant progress in advancing its status in this progressive world. Many advancements, especially by the state government, have moved Idahoans forward to meet the challenges of the 21st century. We should be proud. Several areas can be cited for this progress. Accepting federal dollars is a favorite of Governor Little, […]
Conflicts occur when medical practices are balanced against profitability. Our two major non-profit hospitals in Idaho are in the middle of a cultural war that they have no idea how to extricate themselves from. It comes at a time when some very bad business decisions were made long before Covid arrived on the scene and […]
The election of Attorney General Raul Labrador could be a game-changer for Idaho. We have already seen AG Labrador stop the ridiculous and costly prosecution of Sara Brady and he is now entering the fracas in the Caldwell School District. The school district board closed down a recent meeting because of strong controversy over their […]
A tsunami of evil is growing against the Christian community and needs to be stopped. Our forefathers were willing to do certain things to give us this God given nation that today’s Christian community seems all too willing to give up to the left. Our forefathers gave up trying to appease the British noted by […]
CRT = Can’t Rely on Teachers Our country has done very well for the past 247 years without the Wokeness, CRT, and Transgendreism being introduced into our public education system, colleges, and corporate culture. Since its inception, it has done nothing but cause a huge amount of angst among parents, students, educators, and school board […]
“Fear is the mind killer.” Frank Herbert Fear is a powerful motivator, which is why fear is often deployed as a tool for persuasion, particularly in politics where blame is assigned to past events and future predictions. We see it all the time. If you don’t vote a certain way something bad will happen. Your […]
