Why are residents' concerns not being heard?
I currently live in the Seven Sisters development in Kootenai. Along with many others, I am disturbed by the proposed Providence Road development. I attended two zoning meetings and heard the concerns about tr...
Commission puts developer's wishes over citizens' rights
As usual, our commissioners and planning and zoning commission sided with the developer over our citizens in approving the 116-unit Providence Road subdivision.

Woodward’s decision to run is welcome
Thank you, Jim Woodward
Ranked choice voting is effort to destroy primaries
I was horrified to read the letter from Steve Johnson (Daily Bee, Aug. 27, 2023). Steve Johnson is a failed woke, left candidate for Idaho Senate. He was a write-in candidate sponsored by the left who tried to...
God will not be mocked
As homeowners on Providence Road/Beaver Brook Farm, we've always held dear to our hearts that we turn toward home on a road that means God Guides or Divine Guidance.
Open primaries make sense for Idahoans
Imagine going to an Idaho primary election where, regardless of your political viewpoint, any registered voter could vote for any candidate on the ballot. Republican, Democrat, independent, or Libertarian — all o...
Commission shows contempt for public, common sense
The Bonner County Zoning Commission shows contempt for state statute, public interest, and common sense.

Leftist extremists have opened U.S. borders while attacking our laws, customs and institutions in their win-at-any-cost campaigns: the Senate filibuster, the 50-state union, the Electoral College, the nine-justic...
