Rosanne Smith: Kudos to Valley View Student Council for putting
their minutes in Newsbf! |
|
Raul
Labrador: We all have wonderful memories of recreation
with family and friends in any of Idaho’s
beautiful wildlife areas. Whether it’s boating
in McCall or hunting in Clearwater County, Idaho
has so much to offer its citizens and visitors
outdoors. That’s why on Tuesday, April 17, 2012,
I voted in favor of H.R. 4089, or the
“Sportsmen’s Heritage Act of 2012.” |

Un-Republican Activities;
Challengers accuse Boundary County Republican
Central Committee of trying to follow the Idaho
Republican Party rules and platform! |
|
Several RCC candidates: We, the following
individuals, have come to the
conclusion that there is a need to change the
makeup of the current Boundary County Republican
Central Committee.
We feel that the views of all of the Boundary
County Republicans are not being represented by
Chairman Donna Capurso, or the majority of the
committee. |
