Moore: all charges have been dropped

This woke rant will probably mean as much to you as it would have to the Idaho Constitution drafters back in that hot summer of 1889. I specify Article X Section 1:

Agencies again blaming public for own problems

I agree with Mark Reynolds about trash along our local highways. It’s disgusting. I used to think it was out-of-staters but over the years I have come to learn that a lot of it is from locals which just blows my mind. I assume these same locals would claim to love their state.

Now you know why we all pay so much for insurance

Benewah County Residents: In the coming weeks and months there will be changes at the waste transfer station along with trying to control dumpster usage. As always, no wood, yard waste or metals should be put into the dumpsters. We hope to add cameras to help eliminate these issues. We are a…

Blue state line jumped the river

Weems: number is lower than they'd have you believe

Two years ago I spoke at a school board meeting warning them that an encroaching agenda to propagandize our children is happening. The response was “No, not here”. I was free to search the school's books. I spent 3 days doing so, I found nothing openly offensive, but nothing that would encou…

Trump had our gas reserves at their fullest capacity. We were producing the cheapest cleanest fuel in the world, many oil producing countries were jealous of us.

As I sit here in my home in North Idaho, the red state that I love so much; in America, the country I fought for and worship with great reverence, I am in shock. The Marxist democrats are putting us in a state of decline that may be near impossible to recover from. Our communist leaders in W…

Local politics is always fraught with emotions. Such is the case with the St. Maries School Board’s choice for Superintendent.

Firearm availability.

As the school bond levy vote is in process, consider these economic facts. Gov. Little just this year sent us two checks from the unprecedented budget surplus of $1.5 billion. He also called an emergency legislative session in which he, not the legislature, set aside a large dedicated fund f…

They’re not terrorists.

I am writing to ask St. Maries Joint School District voters to please vote YES for the Supplemental Levy that is on the ballot on March 14, 2023. The Supplemental Levy provides funds that are essential to the operation of our school district. This levy funds 22% of the entire budget for the …

I would like to take this opportunity to express my support for the upcoming replacement levy for the St. Maries School District.

After reading the letters to the editor in the Gazette Record and comments on St. Maries Swap n Shop there are some obvious concerns regarding the fire commissioners placing the interim fire chief on paid administrative leave. Comments were made concerning the commissioners not allowing the …

I was astonished during the fire commissioner’s meeting on 2/14/23 when the fire commission chair completely disregarded our firefighters and the community. The public needs to be served better by the current committee chair. Her disregard for the community is evident in how she treated the …

This letter is in regards to the administrative leave for Captain Marcella Reed of the St. Maries Fire Department. Being new to the area, I have met Marcella many times and she has been nothing but welcoming and kind in nature. She has no issues answering any questions that I might have abou…

We urge you to come out and vote in favor of renewing the supplemental levy which is essential to our school district operation. 

The definition of community is a feeling of fellowship with others, as a result of sharing common attitudes, interests and goals. I would say we the people of Benewah County are a true community. Not only by definition but by example. I am very proud to be a part of such a one of a kind comm…

I would like to thank the CDA Tribal Police and the Benewah County Sheriff for patrolling and responding to the hub of our community. It’s our gathering place, to see old and new friends and family members. We see people and shake hands, talk about things and what’s going on in our community.

Senator Dan Foreman’s claim that his bill (S 1007) to repeal Idaho’s ban on militia groups parading in public with guns is necessary because the ban violates First and Second Amendment rights, is incorrect, according to Mary McCord, legal director of the Institute for Constitutional Advocacy…

I attend the January 9th St. Maries City Council meeting to support my daughter Sheena Derry in her attempt to get a water hook-up from the city of St. Maries.

God how you like to blather about President Biden. Seems like we never heard of you joking about Trump flying to Mar-a-Lago, Florida every weekend or Melania going up to New York by herself (can’t help but wonder why) at the same time. Of course the Virgin Islands must be another three to fo…

On Wednesday, November 9, after dark, we parked two cattle trucks and trailers in front of the city park. Not a car on the street. We have parked our cattle trucks there for some 30-40 years, stayed at the Pines Motel, eaten at the local restaurants and enjoyed a few hours out of the trucks.…

He is the only law enforcement position in the US that is elected. He works directly for the people. He  takes a Constitutional Oath and stands as the chief law enforcement officer of the county. He is bound by oath to intervene for the people when he deems necessary. He is not bound by comm…

The dike road’s renovation is wonderful!

A few inhabitants currently using Hells Gulch Road are treating the road as a ‘Fast Track’ to St. Maries. The recommended speed now posted as you start up from Meadowhurst is 25 MPH. However, considering the current condition of the road, it’s more in the order of an 18-20 MPH road at best.

The wife came home from work yesterday with the news that we each were to receive a Social Security raise of $240.00. I checked into this since we never get the same amount.

Misrepresentations abound in Mike Crapo’s TV ad claiming Biden and Pelosi “supersized” the IRS. The IRS has been starved of funds for years. Do you realize that there used to be an IEA office with auditors in Coeur d’Alene that served the five northern counties? Did you know they used to tra…

A correction for Mr. Fink’s rebuttal to my letter to the editor. Mr. Fink claims, “He states that everything is going great, and all those who would disagree are Nazi’s.” Then launches into the usual GOP tactic of “whataboutism” and democrats.

Bill Weems should have written a shorter summary of his beliefs.

Apparently Mr. Underwood misses the point of “shipping” Hispanic immigrants to Martha’s Vineyard. The people “shipped” to Martha’s Vineyard were not Hispanic immigrants. These people were citizens of Venezuela caught illegally crossing the U.S. border; violating our laws.

What all these MAGA people don’t seem to understand is that the “guv’ment” they continually want to “overthrow” is us. The PEOPLE. Right or left or inbetween. This country doesn’t NEED to be made “great again” because this country is still the best and freest country in the entire world. Whi…

You finally wrote an editorial that I can agree with.

I have a lot to say. The first is for all transgender people in America. You can have all the surgeries you want to make you, a born male, into a female. You can have breast implants and fake vaginas installed into your body and your penis removed and take all the drugs required to convert y…

I seen the results of the levy vote. Emida was put on mail in and I never received a ballot.

In a recent letter to the editor, Heather Stout suggested that Idaho should respect and trust women to make their own decisions about their own bodies.

We really do understand why you moved to our wonderful area. And because you have the good sense to appreciate our blessed way of life, we hope you will begin copy-catting our friendly way of life.

It’s very disappointing to see that some people do not respect other people’s property. A case in point is the vandalism done to the Benewah Democrats booth at the fair discovered Sunday morning. Most of the information was on the floor and candidates’ names were defaced.

I just read my July 27th edition of the Gazette Record and am compelled to comment on the full page ACE Hardware ad in section one.

During the past legislative session, numerous Idaho residents testified against Senate Bill 1385, making abortion a felony. Citizen after citizen testified that the new legislation was unconstitutional. But the legislators did not listen. Yesterday, the US Justice Department filed suit again…

This past week I had to be taken, barely conscious, to the ER at Benewah Community Hospital.

St. Maries Joint School District No. 41 Board and Superintendent: I am writing to encourage you to allow the St. Maries High School Boys Soccer team to field a team this year. The team has six seniors on the team, and most of these boys have played soccer together for several years. Out of t…

I’m writing this to try and convince you to vote Yes on the Plummer-Worley school levy on Aug. 30, 2022.
