Bannock Website Rid of Risch Link
For whatever reason, the Official Bannock County website with the sponsored ads linking folks to the Jim Risch senate campaign site has been CLEANED OUT.
We posted a story YESTERDAY showing that when visitors searched for “absentee ballot” or “voter registration” they got neither–instead they were offered a menu of commercial sites headed by the Risch [...]
What You See NOT What You Get
After the non-interest by the Legacy Media (that’s old things like TV and newspapers) in the posting about Jim Risch’s senate campaign site popping up on the official Bannock County site, we did a little checking– we used to to call that “investigative reporting.”

Nice work for Jim and staff, but hardly appropriate [...]

IDAHO HOUSING FUNDS GO TO GOP
A reader tells us the Republican Party was given funds from the Idaho Housing and Finance Association–the agency that has its board appointed by the Guv and includes legislators, but it isn’t really a state agency.
Public records at the Idaho Secretary of State site show the “quasi-governmental” corporation donated $500 to the Republicans for the [...]
Dirk Works To Establish His Posterity
GUARDIAN reader Eric49 tells us the Secretary of Interior has incorporated a non-profit corp. called “The Kempthorne Institute For Public Policy Philanthropy Corporation,” with the Idaho Secretary of State. Check out the June 20 filing HERE.
Sounds a lot like former Guv Cece Andrus and former Senator Frank Church deals at Boise State University. No [...]
