Bonner County already is a pretty special place to live — friendly people, beautiful spaces and enough items in the plus column to fill the paper 10 times over. Yet, recent news will only serve to make a great place even better. The chance to get a college education at home? A top-notch shelter to give pets a chance for a new, loving home? The ability to breathe smoke-free air year-round, not just on days when conditions aren’t headed straight for Bonner County? The future of Bonner County was already bright. Now it’s off the charts and it’s exciting to imagine all the possibilities for the future. Here’s to the future/Caroline Lobsinger, Bonner County Daily Bee. (For the rest of the editorial, click here.)
DFO: I see that Caroline didn’t mention the politics in Bonner County. P’haps an oversight. P’haps the politics isn’t cool?
Question: OK, Cis, Marianne, Arpie, Trish, et al, here’s your chance. Just how cool is Bonner County?
