Jeanne Buell’s Last Ride

Few Idahoans know Jeanne Buell.  She lives outside Worley, just off of Highway 95 as one heads south towards Plummer.  She is the vice chair of the Idaho Democratic Party, has long labored in the trenches working hard to advance the principles that guide Democrats. She tells-it-like-it-is mincing no words, thereby endearing herself because of candor. She has decided its time to hang up the bridle and put the saddle on a saw horse. She wants to spend more time with her grandchildren.  As she exits, though, she is taking one last shot at the idiocy of Idaho Republicans who are being led down the path to mediocrity by a governor and a legislature unbelievably out-of-touch with the real world. She conceived and is the driving force behind four “generic” ads demonstrating how bad things are in Idaho/Chris Carlson, Carlson Chronicles. More here.
