fortboise on Luna named to Romney's new 19-member Ed Policy Advisory Group on May 25 at 8:46 p.m.
Some bitterness is understandable. The educational system seems to have failed in your case.
donk on Luna named to Romney's new 19-member Ed Policy Advisory Group on May 25 at 10:05 a.m.
I was going to vote for Romney but he just lost my vote. Luna doesn’t have a clue when it comes to educating kids. His ideas don’t work. Spend some time in a classroom and anybody would see what is happening to Idaho schools.
boisebob on Luna named to Romney's new 19-member Ed Policy Advisory Group on May 25 at 9:44 a.m.
Whenever your brain stalls just throw “communist!” out there. Nazi and infidel work too.
gotcha on Luna named to Romney's new 19-member Ed Policy Advisory Group on May 25 at 5:18 a.m.
Most of these negative comments are from those who want and demand personal entitlements. Union hacks if you will. The nearest thing to Communist you will find in this country. Unions breed lazy people that can not see over the top of their mediocracy.
straighttalk on Luna named to Romney's new 19-member Ed Policy Advisory Group on May 24 at 6:32 p.m.
Mayo, I’m not a Dem but a very disgusted R…. Better check your eyesight. And you need to go back to school; the quality of your education is evident.
Mayocynic1 on Luna named to Romney's new 19-member Ed Policy Advisory Group on May 24 at 5:05 p.m.
Why would this article give anybody pause to NOT vote for Romney? Billious comments fromt he Dems is all I see here. Just the usual from unhappy people.
Education has been under the boot of unions for far too lang. The system is dieing but the unions as for more. DO they deserve it?
Not according to achievement data. So why all the “hate”? He must be the wrong color or the wrong party… big deal.
jmrusche on Luna named to Romney's new 19-member Ed Policy Advisory Group on May 24 at 4:04 p.m.
Ah, yes. The venture capital approach to public education.
I still wonder, when the neurobiological research and educational studies point to the important foundation of early education and “at grade level” reading by 3rd grade, we think that the provision of online classes and laptops to high school kids will make much difference.
SteveR on Luna named to Romney's new 19-member Ed Policy Advisory Group on May 24 at 3:46 p.m.
Whoa…. “Now, we must make this [sic] is possible for every child in every state.”
This smacks of “mandate” does it not?
For shame.
duroc on Luna named to Romney's new 19-member Ed Policy Advisory Group on May 24 at 1:33 p.m.
P.S. This is just one more reason not to vote for Mitt Romney. If he thinks Luna represents good educational reform, he clearly doesn’t have a clue about what Luna is trying to do in Idaho. Or - worse - he does have a clue, and supports this nonsense.
A pox on both of their houses.
duroc on Luna named to Romney's new 19-member Ed Policy Advisory Group on May 24 at 1:29 p.m.
Romney should feel free to just take Luna for himself and get the uneducated, bought-and-paid-for anti-education Supt of Instruction far, far away from Idaho. Perhaps Romney could put Luna in a dog crate and strap him to the roof of his Cadillac for the journey.
Luna is nothing more than a whore for K-12 Inc. The sooner he’s gone, the better off Idaho will be. Who will be our next Supt of Instruction? Someone with an online degree in hair coloring from Mr. Charlie’s Beauty College?
KAOR on Dumpster-diving mountain lion had 'crossed the line,' couldn't return to wild on May 24 at 8:45 a.m.
Where is the outrage from the city dwelling wildlife lovers, who would have made this in an outright war, if this incident would have happened in rural America?
ericn1300 on McGee case still pending at Ada prosecutor's office, could take 'a while' on May 23 at 5:34 p.m.
I just hope they don’t let the statute of limitations run out on this one too.
straighttalk on McGee case still pending at Ada prosecutor's office, could take 'a while' on May 23 at 8:02 a.m.
Evidently they are trying to figure out how to save GOP face instead of calling it as it should be by letting a jury decide. At least McGee is gone and hopefully getting the mental health counseling he has needed for some time.
JamesBond on McGee case still pending at Ada prosecutor's office, could take 'a while' on May 22 at 4:22 p.m.
I was asking this very question the other day! It seems like when it was sent to the prosecutor’s office, there was a statement about making some decision/announcement by the end of that week. Obviously, that did not happen.
BRR on Mountain lion on the prowl in Boise... on May 21 at 8:24 p.m.
Are you sure it wasn’t the usual group of Boise cougars?
BRR on Grant on 1st CD Dem primary result: 'It doesn't actually make sense' on May 21 at 8:14 p.m.
How thrilled was the Republican Party with tax dodger’s Phil Hart’s narrow defeat. If only his whole family had voted, he mighta won.
former_prompter_jockey on Idaho Public TV human rights documentary wins national award on May 21 at 10:31 a.m.
This documentary is one of the finest pieces of work I’ve ever seen. Kudos to Marcia and Jay and IPTV. Take the time to watch. And then share.
betsyr on Duncan changes mind, says he now wants to appeal his death sentence on May 21 at 10:28 a.m.
No, he received nine life sentences on the state of Idaho charges. He also received two more life sentences in the California case. His three death sentences all are from the federal level.
KJJ on Duncan changes mind, says he now wants to appeal his death sentence on May 18 at 3:28 p.m.
What a mess. I feel for the US Attorneys and judges having to be dragged down into this again.
Doesn’t the state have a death sentence waiting for him too?
straighttalk on Primary election voters spurn tax-protesting lawmaker on May 17 at 1:00 p.m.
Wonder if Hart collects per diem for his rest stop night overs?
riverside67 on Primary election voters spurn tax-protesting lawmaker on May 17 at 12:31 p.m.
What we also found out about Hart in recent days: He sleeps at taxpayer constructed, operated and maintained rest stops - without paying either taxes or a Tea Party endorsed “user fee” for the use of such facilities. And in doing so, he avoids the support of the private sector small businesses (motels) that he claims to champion.
betsyr on Primary election voters spurn tax-protesting lawmaker on May 17 at 9:56 a.m.
Rep. Bob Schaefer, a House member running for the Senate, lost, as did Rep. Jeff Nesset, another House member running for the Senate. Also, in the redistricting-forced face-off between two incumbents in the Senate, Sen. Tim Corder lost to Sen. Bert Brackett. But Hart and Marriott were the only incumbents who lost to challengers.
boisegirl on Primary election voters spurn tax-protesting lawmaker on May 17 at 8:58 a.m.
What about Schaeffer, district 12?
riverside67 on Otter expects Idaho GOP to re-examine closed primary, after record low turnout on May 16 at 7:35 p.m.
The R on R violence was/is astounding to watch. Could not happen to a more deserving bunch.
riverside67 on Broadsword wins Bonner commission race on May 16 at 7:32 p.m.
Somalia. If you truly want no central Government, no taxes, absolute freedom, and all that that implies, may I suggest Somalia.
straighttalk on Otter expects Idaho GOP to re-examine closed primary, after record low turnout on May 16 at 4:03 p.m.
Otter should talk with whomever does the press releases for the GOP because its patting itself on the back with record turnout! Just another example of the discord among the party. We haven’t seen, read or heard the last of the discord as they eat their young in their internal power struggle.
Butch, I think you’re among thosse on the low end of the state political power pyramid.
betsyr on Broadsword wins Bonner commission race on May 16 at 10:44 a.m.
Thanks, Angry; that was a typo. Broadsword got 2,857; I’ve corrected it.
BobEly on Broadsword wins Bonner commission race on May 16 at 10:24 a.m.
Uh, I think I’llk believe Betsy on the vote count. As to hating freedom: freedom comes with responsibilities, such as paying taxes. If you don’t want to pay taxes, then move somewhere else (I can’t think of any country without them, though). Most of the folks complaining about their taxes are also receiving government handouts of some sort, or are driving on public roads, sending their kids to public schools, etc. These government run/maintained facilities are not free; someone has to pay for them, which we all do through taxes. Do you really want only toll roads, only private schools, etc.? It’s time to put on the big boy pants.
AngryNIdaho on Broadsword wins Bonner commission race on May 16 at 9:51 a.m.
Hey lamestream media: Broadsword DID NOT GET 3857 VOTES! And NOBODY HAS FIESTAS IN IDAHO! Why do you people hate freedom?
donk on Rep. Hart loses in GOP primary; Ed Morse to face Dan English in November on May 16 at 9:42 a.m.
