IPT Defends Weekly Hoffman Column

Now that Hoffman wears the Idaho Freedom Foundation’s executive director hat, he writes a weekly opinion column that we publish most weeks in our print edition — Sundays or Mondays — and on the Web. He doesn’t tap dance around controversial issues and he’s not afraid to challenge the norm. Readers have asked: What makes him special? Why does he get a weekly shot? Simply, Hoffman serves in a unique role. He doesn’t work for the government, for politicians or for any media outlet. As a “very conservative watchdog” Hoffman barks loudly when, in his opinion, someone pushes legislation too far or spends tax dollars unwisely. The Idaho Press-Tribune does not endorse Hoffman’s opinions, nor do we pay him/ Vickie Holbrook , Idaho Press Tribune managing editor. More here .
