Kootenai County Jail officials and the CdA School District are forced to talk to the public, whether they want to or not. They must convince us to vote for their levies or bond issues in order to fund any new buildings or major changes. That’s how the system is designed to work. (more…)
It’s all about the process. That’s what we’ve been hammering on this site for months. Critics don’t want to address the lack of public process by some of our elected officials, they just want to make personal attacks on those asking for clarity and responsibility.

Ok, everyone’s probably watching the Olympics, so here’s a question: Do you find it surprising that Pres. Bush is the first US Presdient to ever attend any Olympics outside our country? Was that a good idea or not?
