There are huge issues looming ahead for us

I’ll try to be brief, however, there are huge issues looming for us. It started with an unasked “offer” from Macy’s to partake in a pledge to cash in on a credit offer. What? I don’t wear rubies or diamonds and I can’t think of using any of their arrays of perfumes. How did they find me? Rather than politely “unsubscribing” as a proper subservient buyer would do I became so irritated that I created some awfully some rather new derogatory and only imagined responses that still linger in a bitter aftertaste in my craw.

No headline

Mike Nielsen’s attack on my lack of trustworthiness lacks creditability. This from a former county commissioner who is almost solely responsible for the demise of Bonner County Search & Rescue. A man who engineered the firing of former Bonner County EMS Director Rob Wakeley, who incidentally sued Bonner County for wrongful termination, and won. A man who promoted taking taxes collected for solid waste projects to pay for our new juvenile detention facility.

BLAME: Look in mirror, Americans

Lately I have been reading a lot of comments that blame President Obama for making the financial crisis worse. I think we need to take a good long look in the mirror and start putting some of the blame on ourselves. When we went to war with Iraq and Afghanistan, we still wanted our tax cuts. We bought houses we couldn’t afford, racked up credit card bills we will never pay off, bought gas guzzling cars.

GEM: Step toward vouchers

It is extremely disappointing, yet not unexpected, to learn that Representatives Mendive of Coeur d’Alene and Don Cheatham of Post Falls chose to vote in favor of sending a bill that will open the door to allowing public money to be used for private and parochial schools to the full House to consider. The bill would be a step toward creating private school vouchers or tax credits. They voted in support despite the fact that every education group in the state testified against the bill.

SCAM: Avoid electric shock

Scam call received from a company claiming to be working with Kootenai Electric. They said my power was scheduled to be shut off that afternoon for non-payment. My account is always paid on time so I told them that. They were calling from Texas. He told me this was a courtesy call and the power was going to be shut off. I firmly told him “DO NOT SHUT MY POWER OFF, MY BILL IS PAID!” and he hung up. I suspect he was going to ask for a credit card for payment to keep the power on.
