OPINION: GOP’s outrage is Trump’s gain
Idaho Republican Party Chairwoman Dorothy Moon is fired up, and for good reason. At least, that seems to be the co…
IDAHO: Housing inflation a crisis
In reference to the Saturday Press article “Idaho is Running Hot,” I would like to point to some statements by Sam Wolkenhauer of the Idaho Dept. of Labor. Comparing Idaho’s economy to the rest of the nation’s, he …
REGAN: ‘Common nonsense’

COACHES: Teach mental skills as well
Students return to school soon. Fall sports begin, and millions of kids nationwide will be participating in fall sports programs. Coaches are busy teaching and refining multiple athletic skills necessary for their …

It’s great what the new county commissioners have come up with for parking on the river, and I agree with that, but it would be great if they would concentrate as much time to repairing the Old River Road.
GAS: Looks like price gouging
I’m curious why gas prices in the area jump 20 cents a gallon instead of a smaller increment like most locales. Of course I also wonder why the price of gas in Wallace and Kellogg as of June 11 is 60 cents a gallon…
