Proprietary Dissemination of City Information?

Update: Dec. 30th,2009 – I emailed city hall to see if I could get Mike Kennedy’s answer that was noted on the Idaho Judiciary Repository site – having been filed Dec. 23rd. (read related post)
The city was very prompt with my request and I received an answer in under an hour – around 9:00 am. [...]

Disoriented Lawmakers in Idaho

It’s going to be tough this next session on our Idaho lawmakers. The renovation of the Idaho capitol has them all disoriented – to the tune of  “$122.5 million worth of expansion and renovations these past two years” according to John Miller, AP writer.

Yep, they are just staggered! The opulence includes “Honduran mahogany-paneled hearing rooms” [...]

Getting Someone’s Goat is Vandalism!

Sorry about the lapse in this blog if you came by. Another one of those housekeeping tasks – renewing the domain name.

Anyway, I discovered an interesting Christmas Swedish tradition that I thought I would share. My Dad was 100 percent Swedish, but when he came over as a young boy to the United States, he and our [...]

What is Malconduct?

     So, I was reading the complaint, answer, and motion to dismiss regarding Case CV09-10010 – To Set Aside, Void, Annul, All or Part of the City Elections in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho this last November 3, 2009. What you think might be really dry is actually quite entertaining. Hey, I am no lawyer, so if [...]

I think I voted

Jim Brannon ran for CDA City Council Seat 2 in November this year against Mike Kennedy. He lost – theoretically - by 5 votes – a very narrow margin worth looking at.

Instead of a recount that would have most likely generated the same results, Brannon challenged the election itself.

According to the Judicial Data Repository site a [...]

Beans in their stockings!

Idaho Freedom Foundation/Jay Howell exposes more abuse of our taxpayer money in Coeur d’ Alene.

Chili cook-offs and gift cards: Coeur d’Alene spends $4,500 on “Employee Recognition

The amount of $4,500 may sound like just beans to some of us, like the mayor and a city council who are most likely financially sound personally, thus spending our money [...]

Orange Balls

I was watching the Today Show this morning and they were sharing hand-me-down Christmas recipes. The orange balls looked pretty easy and Lauer marveled how great they tasted. So, I gave them a try. They are very orangy, so if you don’t want a daily dose of Vitamin C – don’t mistake these for donut [...]

It’s in the water

Cities with best and worst tap water

I was reading the above article about water and much to my surprise, Idaho did not make the best tap water list. In fact, the Northwest states did not make it – at all. God forbid, the water in Alaska is not up to par!

Cities with the [...]

The Bullet Express Sucks

I was very excited to get my three in one food processer, juicer, and meal mixer – but lo and behold on my second use – doing up the cheesecake, it bit the dust. Smoked and choked!

Now, I am on inevitable hold to get an RMA – return merchandise number/authorization. I have emailed but it has [...]
