Huckleberries Online

Hot Potatoes — 2/15/07

*She said … Yes! Proposal in Press advertisement works out just fine for local couple/Lynn Berk, Coeur d’Alene Press — Key line: “But it turned out to be one of the rare days when the paper didn’t make it to the Gagner home in Post Falls.” Yeah. Aha. Sure.

Vote-by-mail bill advances: House committee passes legislation giving counties the choice/Betsy Russell, Spokesman-Review — Spen-sah huffed and he puffed, but he couldn’t swing two more members of the House State Affairs Committee.

Shoshone County weighing moratorium on subdivisions: Timeout would give planner chance to update ordinances/Becky Kramer, Spokesman-Review — Shoshone County? It wasn’t long ago when you could pick up property in the Silver Valley for a quarter on the dollar. This is good news, I suppose.

Avista sees steady sales this year: Profits rose in 2006 despite slow end to year/John Stucke, Spokesman-Review — And yet they keep going back to the regulatory powers that be asking for higher rates. F’shame.

Randy Smith confirmed for 9th Circuit/Betsy Russell, Eye On Boise — Finally, an Idaho judge passes muster. Smith should push the 9th Circuit a tad back toward the middle from the far-left end of the spectrum that it seems stuck at now.

Seven interchanges planned for U.S. 95/Keith Kinnaird, Bonner County Daily Bee — Thumbs up for anything that improves traffic flow between Coeur d’Alene and Sandpoint.
