NIC: Normal conservatives not the enemy

I am a retired lifelong conservative North Idaho business person. I have a wife, daughter, granddaughter and son-in-law that graduated from the NIC nursing program. Two sons and a grandson that finished electrical tech training at NIC. Now all in the electrical business.

A daughter-in-law who completed the culinary program and now owns her own business. Two grandsons who graduated from NIC with a two-year degree before graduating high school thanks to the dual credit program with the charter school in Rathdrum. A granddaughter that started her education at NIC and finished with an AD in physical therapy. I sponsored and financed several vocation training students through my electrical contracting business every year.

I was fortunate to have a family and business before Brent Regan and his puppets infected NIC. They are trying to convince us that we the normal conservative population of North Idaho are the enemy. Where are all these scary liberals they are willing to destroy NIC to protect us from?
