Comments on: Stop The Presses! Use Up Existing Supplies https://boiseguardian.com/2006/12/05/stop-the-presses-use-up-existing-supplies/ A different slant on the news.

Perhaps the number would cause us to think that Gov.
Risch is being very thrifty in this matter. Now other matters could be a different story altogether……

You know the Boise Weekly used to do a spuds and duds (or something) that showcased the best and worst of the previous year in Idaho. Perhaps Butch should be nominated for a small budget spud for not printing new materials. It’s probably not a huge savings compared to the overall budget, but its’ something.

I’m wondering, what other expenditures could be modified in the same way?

My point about Republicans is the CLAIM so many make about being fiscally responsible, but more often than not, they do not seem to act that way when public funds are involved. Gotta give kudos when someone actually does, with the hope of encouraging more to follow!

Use generic letterheads that can be printed with the office holders info, and photos of our beautiful state, rather than photos of individuals. A template can be created for correspondence that includes the pertinent information so it needn’t be typed every time. Now that’s the kind of policies I’d like to see from ALL public officials that operate on tax revenues.

Doesn’t take a Republican to be frugal.

Way to go, Butch! Now THAT’s the kind of decision-making I would like to routinely see from Republicans!!!
