FEES: Atlas shrugs (again)

I was surprised to see in The Press that the average student fees for college in Idaho increased by 34 percent from 2010 through 2017. Every year I receive a notice from my county retirement plan showing how much is deducted for my health care premiums. For 2010 through 2017, my premiums increased by 134 percent. This is quite an economic burden but this increase does not include medications, office visits and hospital expenses — these are extra out-of-pocket costs on top of the 134 percent.

So cute and funny, you’ll be left in Stitches

MOSES LAKE - Stitches may not be as young as she used to be, but you can’t tell by her energy level and joy around those she loves. She’s best off as the only pet in a home since she doesn’t care for other dogs or cats – after all, she doesn’t need a backup singer when she can take center stage. She’s just shy of eight years old and is really sweet and affectionate toward people. Like all of the furry friends at Grant County Animal Outreach, Stitches is spayed/neutered, up to date on all of her shots and would dearly love a home with a loving human. If you’re unable to adopt, support pets like this beautiful Siberian Husky mix by visiting grantcountyanimaloutreach.org and clicking the “donate” button in the top-right corner of the website.
