Judicial Burnout – A Public Concern?

Unfortunately, “burn out” can come with anyone’s job and judges are not any different. They just shouldn’t publicize it – this is one of those “silence with dignity” issues.

The public holds them to higher standards and we want to believe they are on top of their game and we should expect them to be. They are [...]

 Public Service Announcement
Coeur d’Alene, Idaho

Excerpt from Mary Souza’s Newsletter

“In an interesting twist, the city has asked the judge to throw out Jim’s case.  And County Clerk Dan English signed on to the city’s request too. They think Jim’s case is “frivolous”.  Really?  It’s frivolous to expect that people voting in [...]

Efficiency or Appeasement?

The budget is a mess. According to CDA Press article written by Rick Thomas, our elected leaders are telling us this; “We’re still $450 million upside down,” Clark said. “We have problems, but we can solve them.”  

I find that remark incredibly concerning because I don’t think they can fix it, they are however, going to [...]

Senator Thanks Idaho Smokers for New Capitol

According to Twitter via IdahoReporter.com, Sen. John McGee thanked Idaho smokers. Did he mean it?

Sen. @john_mcgee begins transportation meeting in new room saying ““we thank the cigarette smokers of the great state of Idaho.” about 4 hours ago from Seesmic  -  January 19, 2010

Senator McGee (R) is on the Senate Transportation [...]

Idaho Declares Homage to Giant Salamander

There are some subjects that our Idaho State Legislature deems a priority and one of those priorities is the designation of a state amphibian.

House Bill 389 does that – it’s critical to our well being, evidently, and maybe the Idaho Giant Salamander’s as well. Richard Jarvis is looking out for these botchy, slimey, snake-like creatures. Nevermind, that he [...]

Updates on Local Lawsuits

We, the general public, who are interested in some active lawsuits taking place in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho may never have a clue what is happening, unless it is reported or we look at other resources like the Judicial Data Repository site. These two lawsuits are in the best interests of the citizens.

The elections lawsuit where [...]

The Solution To Idaho Government Waste

Like I said, the 2010 Idaho Pork Report could keep me going for days. It’s awful what our elected leaders are getting away with. There is a solution, provided by the authors of the 2010 Idaho Pork Report. We have a right to see what they are spending on furniture, meals, and transportation. Our universities are [...]

I Want a Free Movie Night, Too!

This is SO not fair. Meridian, Idaho spent almost $4,500 for a free movie night for their citizens. Okay, it’s not really free, they are still paying for it, but you must admit the idea is novel. Here in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho we pay for siding, brick work, and streetside banners we never see. Granted, a [...]

Almost 7 Million Dollars – Where did it go?

IFF has given me more than enough fodder to write about. That 2010 Idaho Pork Report will keep me going for days.

Idaho Health and Welfare is one of  – if not the most wasteful agency Idaho has. They think they are runaway movie stars and they can spend our money like no tomorrow. To think [...]

Idaho Taxpayers Pay for Filth

Yes, we did.

According to the 2010 Idaho Pork Report – provided by the Idaho Freedom Foundation our taxdollars went to an ‘arts’ group called Big Tree Arts who promoted Ben the Drunken Poet – I Can’t Control Myself.

It’s a You Tube video. I would post it – but it’s that bad – to the tune of almost [...]
