Bookstore Owner Opposes Griz Stand
Boundary County Commissioners were among many to receive an email Friday from John O'Connor, ower of Bonners Books, criticizing the "shrill" letter county commissioners sent to the Idaho Congressional Delegation and Governor Butch Otter August 22. "I became immediately irritated when I read this email," commission chair Ron Smith (pictured) said. "He showed absolutely no compassion for Jeremy Hill or his family." Titled "An open letter to Senator Jim Risch," O'Connor's letter begins, "You were recently sent a shrill letter from our Boundary County Commissioners, dated August 22nd, having to do with the shooting of a grizzly bear by local resident Jeremy Hill. O'Connor continues: ""The letter was sent without the full support of the community, and obviously before the commissioners bothered to gather important facts about the case"/Mike Weland, News Bonners Ferry.

Question: I'd say book store owner John O'Connor is the loneliest man in Boundary County, wouldn't you?
