Corporate Physicians, Heal Thyselves

We have shifted from a physician […]

The Cost of Growth

There is an old saying, “Be careful what you wish for as you might just get it.” Most people don’t realize that, along with the positive changes, there are many negative consequences that accompany growth. Idaho is a great place to live, and much of that has to do with the fact that it still […]

“Kill Bill”

No, Kill Bill is not about the movie but about how our legislature is hamstrung by a group of committee chairmen who hijack good bills and make sure they are never voted on. This is nothing more than a legislative veto and should no longer be tolerated. This is not a one-off but a consistent […]
