Gregory A Shenton and Mac Wagoner were running against each other for the Clark County Commisioner’s chair. 260 people voted – and each candidate received 130 votes. So where does it go from there? Grab […]
US Senate - In Idaho, Your Vote Really Counts!
When our government was being established the founding fathers gave us both a House and a Senate – the number of representatives in the House is determined by a states population, but all states receive two votes in the Senate. That means our state with a population of about 1.5 million Idaho gets just as […]

Speed Traps in Southeast Idaho
The news today announced the speed limit on Rollandet was just lowered from 35mph to 25mpg and that the Idaho Falls police department have been aggressively patrolling the road.
I remember growing up being taught that Police are your friends, there to help you, people you can trust. “If you ever get lost, look […]

USAFIS - Win A U.S. Green Card?
I came across probably the most interesting advertisement I’ve ever seen today. It had a link advertising for me to win a United States green card. The privacy service I was using has a proxy service while browsing, so the website I was on probably thought I was outside of the United States at the […]
Wind Farm Profiteers Damaging Southeast Idaho
Five years ago the hills and mountains of Southeast Idaho were a beautiful site to see on the horizon. I remember growing up and looking towards the east seeing the sun come up over the mountains and thinking to myself what a beautiful site it was, and how lucky I was to be living in […]
Idaho Falls – You’re Building A Hotel Where?
Is there any rhyme or reason to the planning that goes into Idaho Falls Hotels?
With the exception of a few locations I haven’t been able to figure out if there is any logic that goes into where the hotel locations develop.

Minimum Wage – A Blessing or a Curse?
Minimum wage has been around for a long time. The basic concept, as I understand it, is to help ensure a certain quality of life for low income families. There are many places in the world where the average monthly income sits between $200.00 and $500.00 per month working 10 hour days. $1.00 per hour […]

Summer is coming on fast and gasoline prices are soaring. There is no question that the increased cost in gasoline will have extreme consequences in the future if prices soar. Some estimates predict gasoline going as high as $5.00 per gallon by the end of the summer, and $10.00, $15.00 or more per gallon in […]
