News Item - May 16,2019


Something rather remarkable just happened in Idaho. The state legislature opted to—in essence—repeal the entire state regulatory code. The cause may have been dysfunction across legislative chambers, but the result is serendipitous. A new governor is presented with an unprecedented opportunity to repeal an outdated and burdensome regulatory code and replace it with a more streamlined and sensible set of rules. Other states should be paying close attention.

The situation came about due to the somewhat unconventional nature of Idaho’s regulatory process. Each year, the state’s entire existing body of regulations expires unless reauthorized for an additional year by the legislature. In most years, reauthorization happens smoothly, but not this year.

Instead, the legislature wrapped up an acrimonious session in April without passing a rule-reauthorization bill. As a result, come July 1, some 8,200 pages of regulations containing 736 chapters of state rules will expire. Any rules the governor opts to keep will have to be implemented as emergency regulations, and the legislature will consider them anew when it returns next January.

Idaho lawmakers have essentially seen the governor and raised him through the roof. Earlier this year, Gov. Little followed the example of President Donald Trump and issued an executive order requiring state agencies to cut two existing rules for every new one they impose.

Aww.  So unfair.

Try posting more links to Far Right Racist twitter.  That will be sure to convince us.

I am not asking you to be more fair.

A hellscape for Idahoans but an absolutely heavenly playland for industry lobbyists.

Most names mean something...Native American name for something, etc.
Boise...France...'forest'.

Shovelling snow, in Idaho...no no no no no.

mrs bambu went to Toronto...she was sick of living in the snow, by the time she left.
She loved the snow scenery in Canada and USA...just beautiful to look at.
She stayed with older folk most places she went...the women living alone struggled with 'shovelling snow'/'moving snow' etc.
It even snows in Arizona.

Team bambu doesn't do snow...except to look at, it has been decided.

What a mealy-mouthed, lameass excuse for an excuse.

Yes, we will refute what you bring up, Kiiid.

We won't "LOL" or say "not so." We will provide evidence that it is erroneous, mistaken, wrong, slanted, or whatever it happens to be. It's not because we are contrary, but because as with Obama's birth, while we are all entitled to our own opinions, we are not entitled to our own versions of facts.

The science of climate change is solider than you or Bambi seem prepared to accept.

The immorality of the kidnapping of the children and the intentional failure to track where they were put are not things we made up and they cannot be excused by any amount of fingerpointing.

The elimination of protections of our air and water are incontestable, if one is honest.

The rise in racial incidents and the reduction of civil rights enforcements are both simple to understand and acknowledge, IFF you are willing to be honest.



If "anything I bring up" can be refuted, you might try seeking your research without a bias in your research. Then you might bring up items that we cannot refute.

Of course, there is a good chance we will agree with them.

A 1956 Idaho history textbook says:

"Idaho" is a Shoshoni Indian exclamation. The word consists of three parts. The first is "Ee", which in English conveys the idea of "coming down". The second is "dah" which is the Shoshoni stem or root for both "sun" and "mountain". The third syllable, "how", denotes the exclamation and stands for the same thing in Shoshoni that the exclamation mark (!) does in the English language. The Shoshoni word is "Ee-dah-how", and the Indian thought thus conveyed when translated into English means, "Behold! the sun coming down the mountain.[13]
