Legislature Throws Crumbs to the Taxpayers in Tax Reform Bill

We would have to say thanks but no thanks to Representative Mike Moyle’s proposal to cut the top two individual income tax rates and cut the corporate rate from 7.4 to 7.3 percent. As far as the grocery tax goes why are we going to give the hard working citizens of Idaho a $10 dollar […]

Why did the Legislature leave this Huge Loophole for Insurance Exec’s?

Thank you Greg Ferch and Audrey Dutton for bringing this special privilege of non-disclosure by our major health insurance companies to the attention of the citizens of Idaho.

Stealing from Peter to pay Paul who donates to the Campaign

Why is it that government has to stick their nose into picking winners and losers by subsiding companies with our money when they have shown time and time again that they are unaccountable to the public for the money we give them?

Governor’s State of the State Message: More Spending and Promises – No Tax Cuts or Solutions

The Otter Pac Reeks of Cronyism

When our Governor speaks about the reddest of the red states he must be talking about Wyoming because with the legislators we currently have in office there is no way you could consider Idaho a Red State.

Has District One Gone Mad? Can someone please tell us what the heck is going on in the District 1 Bonner and Boundary Counties?

Is Medicaid Expansion being forced on Idaho? Just Say No!

This appears to be the Camel is sticking his nose under the government welfare tent to try to get Medicaid expansion into Idaho. We already depend on the Federal government for 36% of our state budget. This will just put us deeper in the Fed’s debt. Where does it stop? We have a Governor who […]

The Truth about CBD Oil

Why is it that Government says “NO” to perfectly good medicine? Because Big Pharma can’t patent it? Because Allopathic Doctors don’t understand it? Because there is no money to be made on it? Because Insurance doesn’t cover it? Because it does no harm, but the FDA won’t approve it to protect Big Pharma? The answer […]
