Idaho Falls Legislative Race
This should be the final candidate-discussion article for the 2006 Election season (is that applause?)
I’m kinda disappointed in some of our local candidates exposure to the public. Only Cannon, McGeachin, Williams, and McGimpsey setup websites to reach voters. Only Cannon and McGimpsey made an effort to discuss issues with local voters on this website.
The [...]
Otter was rude, but people ate it up.
Tuesday afternoon I staffed Jerry Brady (I work for him) as he attended the Idaho Falls Chamber of Commerce Luncheon.
The previous night was spent at the debate in Twin Falls where Jerry just shined. It was great.
At the luncheon, Otter spoke first. He’s an excellent speaker. I guess that’s what comes with 30 years of [...]
I wish “Absolute Idiot” Sali was one of my choices
I wish Bill “Absolute Idiot” Sali was running in my congressional district. I wish he were one of my representative choices, because then my choice would be easy; any other candidate would serve Idaho better than Bill Sali.
As it is now, we have a tough choice between two strong candidates, Mike Simpson and Jim Hansen. [...]
Superintendent of Public Instruction’s Race: Jones vs. Luna
I wanted to start a discussion thread of Idaho’s candidates for our State Controller. The two contenders are Tom Luna and Jana Jones. I would personally like to see discussion of their past experience, training, accomplishments, and mistakes rather than what their party philosophies are.
Luna’s campaign site is http://www.tomluna4idaho.com/. Jones’ campaign site is http://www.jana4education.com/. It [...]

Proposition 2 is dead, right?
From all I hear and read, it seems Proposition 2 is already dead.
This citizen initiative seems to be a knee-jerk reaction to the infamous Kelso ruling by the Supreme Court last year. It supposedly protects home and landowners from government eminent domain takings, or at least gives those folks more legal ammunition to try [...]
