That will be a great day for struggling Idaho families! Currently, Idahoans can get a grocery tax credit when […]
As a new legislator, I anticipated the onslaught of new information during my first term. I was definitely NOT expecting the lack of professionalism or to be patronized, bullied, strong-armed, verbally threatened or called a “liar” and “crazy.” Apparently, the viciousness of the national political scene has worked its way into Idaho, and so too […]
Coming to the Idaho State Legislature to represent the people of District 23 and the people of the state has been an honor. I have had opportunity to learn so much. One of the opportunities that I cherish the most was being asked by citizens from all over the state to carry the Castle Doctrine […]

Your Crony Government Hard at Work Costing You Money Credit my brothers for introducing me to military jargon. SNAFU, TARFU, and FUBAR are said to date from the 1940’s and while crude expressions, these do a better job of summing up a situation than any essay on the subject. I think the terms fit well […]
I don’t usually hijack emails but I thought this may be important and worth considering if I ever had an idea that was worthy. I too am very angry about all that is happening, the sad part is that we know why it is happening and we know it will get worse until either the […]
