  • Cheers and Jeers: Left Behind
    Cheers and Jeers: Left behind Marty Trillhaase/Lewiston Tribune JEERS ... to Idaho Gov. C.L. "Butch" Otter. His decision to replace Bill Goesling of Moscow with Albertsons executive Andrew Scoggin of Boise leaves north central Idaho the odd man out on the State Board of Education. The governor is under no legal obligation to maintain a geographical balance on the state board. But certainly that's been the practice. In fact, someone from Latah County has served on the state board since 1991, when then-Gov. Cecil D. Andrus appointed attorney Roy Mosman. In 1998, Gov. Phil Batt replaced an ailing Mosman with former House Speaker Tom Boyd, R-Genesee. Three years later, Gov. Dirk Kempthorne appointed former Moscow Mayor Paul Agidius. And five years ago, Otter selected Goesling. Geography is not destiny. For instance, there is no more ardent advocate for the University of Idaho than state board President Emma Atchley of Ashton, a former president of the UI Foundation. Still, of the seven people Otter has named to the state board, three - former West Ada School Superintendent Linda Clark and former Idaho National Laboratory Deputy Director David Hill and now Scoggin - are from Ada County. That leaves just one northerner - Don Soltman of Twin Lakes, north of Coeur d'Alene - on the state board. This involves a vast area running from the Ada County line to Worley. It encompasses two of Idaho's four institutions of higher learning. Why is Otter ignoring it? JEERS ... to Otter, again. The governor has a bad habit. Rather than rely on Attorney General Lawrence Wasden's staff, Otter prefers to burn through hundreds of thousands of dollars hiring outside counsel.

  • To Beat Trump, Clinton Brings Back Triangulation and the Politics of Fear
    To Beat Trump, Clinton Brings Back Triangulation and the Politics of Fear The enduring cliche of the 2016 election is a comment by Trump that provokes outrage, rebukes, and the declaration: “He’s gone too far.” This happened the moment Trump declared his presidential bid by denigrating Mexicans, then when he attacked veterans, women, the disabled, Muslims, and the judiciary among others, and most recently with his vendetta against Khizr and Ghazala Khan. Trump’s attack on the Khans seems curious as he had nothing to gain. The couple grabbed the moral high ground at the Democratic National Convention by pointedly telling Trump, “You have sacrificed nothing and no one,” in reference to the death of their son as a U.S. Army officer in Iraq in 2004. The self-inflicted wounds are unlikely to cause Trump permanent harm, however.The New York Times found his attacks on military members and families mainly affected the opinion of undecided veterans, representing just a sliver of voters. Trump also recovered after a similar racist tirade against a U.S.-born judge overseeing lawsuits against the defunct Trump University. Republicans inside the Beltway freaked out in private over Trump’s antics, but in public they are loathe to break with him when polls show81 percent of the party supports him along with41 percent of the public overall. Moreover, Trump’s ranting about the Khans is consistent with his trickle-down revenge and nativism that’s congealed a white nationalist rebellion around him. It shows little sign of faltering. In battleground states like Ohio, North Carolina, and Iowa, Trump trails Clinton by less than 1 percent.
