Heartless Idaho Gets Rotton Tomato

Idaho is heartless. JFAC didn’t approve a $150,000 funding line item for treating the chronic lung disease, cystic fibrosis.

They cut a $150,000 cystic fibrosis program and in their same heartless breaths they hired more tax auditors so they could collect an extra $67 million in unreported taxes. The state will pay 10 temporary [...]

Idaho District Magistrates Commission

Recently, the First Judicial District appointed a new Magistrate Judge. The CDAPress gives us the article, Here comes the judge. Commenters wondered about the process in appointing our magistrates. I have attempted to get that information. However, it is my understanding that all of the members are voting members, now. That was evidently changed in 2008 in the [...]

Stebbijo's Corruption Report - there is none.

 No need to worry, folks. Idaho has some crime under control. It’s time to be thankful for all of the hard work our police force does when it comes to apprehending those individuals who think they can get away with extortion, bribery, and intimidation! Corruption is just not here, it is one crime that is [...]

“No” – to VIAGRA!

Idaho put their health care lawsuit online, here.  Thank God, they are not writing amendments about Viagra! Other states, like Oklahoma are going that route. Idaho is pretty much sticking to the constitutionality of  mandated health care.

I was reading where one of the admendments that will be argued to slow or even stop the health care [...]

Coeur d'Alene Press Works For Transparency

In view of the fact that our Idaho Legislature is putting off urban renewal changes until next year, local activist, Dan Gookin, has made an impact and the CDA Press has now published the check register of the Lake City Development Corporation.  Mike Patrick, Managing Editor for the CDA Press tells us:

“”It was our intent, [...]

This is awesome stuff! Watch it rather you agree or not.

Kate Kelly (D) who is not running for relection said this according to IR, “After the news conference, Senate Minority [...]

“Opt in” OR “Opt out” ?

Well the good news is - they are putting the “chip” in our driver’s license and not our forearms. The other good news is (R) Phil Hart has set the bill up so that if sometime in the future they decide to enhance the driver’s license, you can ‘opt in’ to the technology. Opting out keeps your [...]

Jury Duty

Yes, I have been called to do my civic duty here in Kootenai County, Idaho. Last week or two, ago, my husband was called but dismissed, he knew the attorney. The other side was not too thrilled with the handshake. You see that might pose as a conflict of interest in the case which is my [...]

Do you hear the fat lady singing?

I was talking with some neighbors the other day and they were pretty excited about health care reform in Idaho. Not to burst their bubble or anything I mentioned that Governor Otter had signed a bill that would allow Idaho to sue the federal government if such a thing happened. We all know now that [...]

Don't Spread This Around!

In a hypothetical situation, Patti Tobias, Administrative Director of the Idaho Courts, leans over and whispers into the Judge’s wife’s ear, “We don’t want the psychological conditions of our judges reaching the public.” “If they found out that the Idaho’s Judges needed mental health care …well you know!”

It is said that truth is stranger than fiction.

In [...]
