Zippo:

It was bonds, not stocks. You are referring to stock market recovery.

And, how about a meaningful response from Mayor Bieter and/or Chief Masterson why the results, details, and facts surrounding the investigation by the Feds of the BPD are concealed, rather than revealed and openly disclosed???

Rick,
Your right, in part. There are too many laws on the books, and there in lies the problem. Our country’s laws sound like the bad side effects listed from any T.V. commercial drug add. We have become a nation that is so full of laws, that it is impossible to live past the age of 25 without breaking at least one.
There are many of us Vets who are disgusted with the way this country, (and state) are circling the drain morally, and legally. Someday, maybe not within the decade, but soon in comparison to the age of the country, we will have a revolution. And freedom, TRUE freedom will once again be given to everyone, and not just those who can buy it. (but as history has shown us, that too won’t last).

Well as to the individual suggesting weapons should be brought on campus…….either the 2nd amendment applies or it doesn’t apply. Why are there specific areas that seem to be exempt from the policies instituted by the United States Constitution. For any ONE individual to suggest that only certain “types” of people should be allied to carry a weapon, I humbly suggest that no one human being should have the power to decide that issue. The current debate is a no brainer. This is a right given allowed us by the framers of the Constitution. This country is being forced to abide by the policies of the liberal progressives who seem to have found their way in to all areas of politics and law enforcement despite the obvious disgust that the average citizen or police officer may have for their “spokesman”. Politicians are paid to represent the people…not force their own personal views down the citizens throats. as for police administrators that seem to think they put their pants on a little differently than the common man: your arrogance is appalling. You are paid to enforce the law. PERIOD. Keep your personal opinions to yourself and do your stinking job. And i do mean stinking. Double standards may fly at the 7/11 counter but I pay your salary and pension. Remember that the next tinge you think your opinion matters.

well… history has proven time and time again, that when “leaders” fail to effectively lead. They are over-thrown, and most times violently.
We are frantically heading in that direction, and I for one welcome the day.

Re: The Riggins legislator introducing a bill to nullify all EPA rules not authorized through Congress; this is another bill produced by the corporate bill mill of the Koch brothers’ American Legislative Exchange Council. Similar bills have been introduced in Oklahoma and Arizona and will be introduced in Montana.

It is a disturbing trend in Idaho politics. ALEC provides “scholarships” to state legislators across the country where they are handed suggested legislation ALEC would like passed at the state level. This results in Idaho legislators not thinking for themselves but rather becoming vessels for the ALEC driven agendas.

Search public lands and ALEC. Then pull up the two resolutions introduced last year. ALEC ‘ S proposed language is identical to the language in Idaho’s resolutions.

Do additional searches of Idaho legislation and ALEC and you will see the trend.
