Don: Why All The Negativity

Don Sausser (RE: Uber-Con Otter hurts Idaho ): All this negativity about our state and area is just blogfare. The population is increasing in most areas of Idaho. Drive through much of the Rathdrum Prairie to see young families, not just retirees. Again I have to serve up the example of my children who were educated locally, with local good jobs for 25+ years, and my young graduate grandchildren who have purchased new homes, gainfully employed and contributing to society. For those who find this such a negative area to live, why are you still here???

DFO: I’m a Phil Batt Republican who has little use for the extremes and party-first mentality of the current Republican Party. That makes me a critic, a harsh one at times of the political landscape. But it in no way diminishes my enjoyment of my life in the Coeur d’Alene area. Thoughts?
