This is a question we get asked all too often by our readers, and we are amazed how IACI has been able to keep themselves so far out of the political limelight for most of Idaho’s citizens? IACI stands for the Idaho Association of Commerce and Industry, or as we like to call it the […]
In Reply to a Recent Statesman Article on the Idaho Freedom Foundation: Wayne Hoffman is a man of honor, who fights for freedom and liberty for the citizens of Idaho. Kelley Packer has an affinity for going after anyone who tries to tell the truth about her voting record as it is not a pretty […]
In my opinion, the only important thing that was accomplished at Burns, Oregon was to make light of the overreach and heavy handedness of our government bureaucrats when dealing with ranchers and farmers rights. The one mistake they made was to make this stand in Oregon because of the liberal nature of their elected officials. […]
Lt. Governor Brad Little recently wrote an Op-Ed for the Times News, and we would like to address this article which has all of the appearances of a man running for Governor. He starts off talking about his hometown of Emmett, and how it suffered a devastating loss with a major employer of the town […]

Many of us believe that this is not about the ability of the trustees to run the school board, but about the $400 million budget that they will have control over. Many […]
Isn’t it nice that the legislature brings on a new tax package and guess who gets the short end of the stick again? The lower and middle income taxpayers of Idaho.

Once again our so called conservative legislators have two bills before them that in essence could at some […]

Congressman Labrador is on target when he talks about our biggest problem being the $19 trillion in national debt and the fact that when we look at cutting budgets we have to look no only at bloated social programs but at bloated military programs as well. We have had 24 years of one hand washing […]
Shawn is trying to take back a bad decision made by her and the other RINOs in the legislature to put more tax burdens on the taxpayers who could least afford the gas tax hike and registration fee hikes passed last year. It’s time for the voters of Dist. 1 to retire Shawn Keough before […]
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 […]
