Asking YOUR opinion

To balance Idaho's 2011 budget should we spend all reserves then cut all budgets by 10% including education?

Friends,

As an Idahoan who grew up in rural Custer County and a long-time resident of Boise's District 19, I have been a small business owner, wild land firefighter, wilderness ranger and educator who has been involved in creating fair tax policy, improving treatment for mental health and substance abuse issues, advancing human rights, securing funds for schools and increasing the affordability of health care. As your representative I work hard to bring your voice and values to the State Capitol and into Idaho law.

• As an educator, I work to reduce class sizes and restore adequate funding to educational programs across the state.

• I work for a tax system that rewards corporations not simply for doing business in our state but for contributing to our economy by providing jobs with decent wages and health care benefits.

• I continue to fight for access to health care for all Idahoans and stand up to insurance companies to improve coverage, accountability and affordability. I will continue working to create laws which ensure fairness for utility consumers, seniors and working families.

I have been very honored to serve as your Representative to the Idaho State Legislature and am deeply honored to have been elected this year to serve you in the Idaho Senate.

Sincerely, Nicole LeFavour

Since the beginning of humankind people have looked up to the sky, down to the earth, out to the sea or inside themselves to pray. Muslim, Jewish, Christian, Hindu, Buddhist, the list of religions is long and made complicated by the many houses within each and the specific tenants each holds up highest, and most holy or sacred to its faith.

The statehouse has been quiet today while many legislators are away for Atwell Parry's funeral. The long marble halls which connect the two underground wings seem empty, while upstairs movie cameras on mechanical arms swivel as Idaho media day shows...
