Supports Perry

Zac Perry is getting things done for HD3. Since taking office, Zac has built bipartisan relationships and sponsored three bills that became law. He also played a pivotal role in passing a law that allows private-sector businesses to grant hiring preference to veterans without fear of being sued for it, and sponsored another bill encouraging new business development and expansion. Zac supported the bill that would have conducted the 2017 special election by mail-in ballot, saving $750,000 of our tax dollars. (Unfortunately, that bill was voted down by the GOP majority.) In contrast, Zac’s predecessor—and current challenger—memorably spent his time in the state house demanding to be paid in gold (Daily InterLake, 11/12/12) and advocating that prisoners be allowed to opt for corporal punishment instead of jail time (DIL, 1/31/13). Vote for the HD3 candidate most likely to make a positive difference in the lives of his voters: Zac Perry.

Government condemns monopolies unless it holds them

It's ironic how the government condemns monopolies unless they hold the monopoly. For instance, did you know that the Postal Service has an exclusive monopoly on letters? Similarly, school districts across the country hold a monopoly on education. Like private sector monopolies, these government monopolies stifle quality, choices, and accountability.

County, this is no time for a meltdown

Well, it’s that time of year again here in Kootenai County. City and county governments have had the mold cast for their respective budgets and are now just waiting for public hearings before another year of government starts to take life again on Oct. 1. Not surprisingly, many people like me are not happy that taxes are going to go up. Many, if not most, public officials are straining under the weight of public pressure concerning their budget decisions while continuing to provide the services that the public demands. Kootenai County officials feel that pressure as well.
