Sanity in Idaho - State House of Representatives passes resolution to end coronavirus emergency declaration
Posted by freedomforall 4 years, 8 months ago to News
BOISE, Idaho — Lawmakers voted Tuesday to advance a resolution that would end Idaho Gov. Brad Little's coronavirus emergency declaration, a move designed to lift restrictions across the state that would also strip Idaho of its eligibility for some federal emergency aid money.
"It is time to return to normal. Not a new normal, to normal," said Rep. Christy Zito.
"It is time to return to normal. Not a new normal, to normal," said Rep. Christy Zito.
"I refuse, when we talk about money, I refuse to sell my liberties for money," he said. "I refuse to be blackmailed for money. And I refuse to sell my state and my blessings of my family and everything else for some federal freaking check."
Rep. Tim Remington, R-Couer d'Alene, said that the emergency declaration "instilled fear" in Idaho citizens, causing divisions in the state.
He said that people need to reject that fear, and expressed surprise at church pastors in the state who have canceled services out of concerns about COVID-19 spreading through their congregation.
Send him to SF where he can't do more harm.
This particular political entity, be it still a State or a new country, would have a salt water port, timber, water, gold silver, lithium, copper, barite, lead, zinc, geothermal energy in abundance in the Great Basin. Reopen the Carson City Mint and issue real money coinage, encourage eastern Washington, Oregon, Idaho and perhaps some other adjacent entities to join and redraw the border with California to the Sierra crest (actually within the Ca State Constitution).
Right, tongue in cheek long sore from biting down.....
As for California, I once did a plan for partitioning that state too, that would give both parts a coast. It goes like this. "Left California" gets all the coastal counties from Sonoma through Los Angeles, plus Alameda, Contra Costa, and Santa Clara counties and the LA-basin portions of Riverside and San Bernardino counties. Everything else is "Right California", so it has two coastlines: one north of Point Reyes and one that covers Orange and San Diego counties. The Right also gets the Central Valley, the Sierra, and part of the Wine Country, while the left gets all the major cities. And both states are contiguous.
Time to seriously start considering moving to Idaho.
Recall Sisolak efforts got squashed during the lockdown. Petition to extend deadline for signatures was shot down - by Sisolak.
UNC and Duke have been producing socialist graduates for 40 years and hiring racists as professors like this one. https://www.dukechronicle.com/article...
Asheville's city council recently voted to pay reparations for black residents. I'm sorry you have had to deal with those irrational childish fools.

Per the senate, the legislature was called by the governor into special session and the purpose of that session is limited.
Yes, I think they are cowards, too, Blarman.
The people have to make enough noise to get the governor to act rationally. Surround his house and demonstrate for days against his policies.
But the legality of such limits isn't founded in the State Constitution. And there is quite a bit of noise that they will address all of this in the next regular session in a couple of months.
You won't see demonstrations around the governor's house (unless they're bused in from Portland). Idahoans are too peaceful and proper for that. Around the Statehouse? Yup - several. I have, however, seen an open petition to recall the governor (as well as the Boise mayor and a city councilwoman). I don't think he'll survive the next election TBH because he's really stepped in it. He made the totally cowardly move of not only denying that the special session could address his overreach, but he sidestepped his responsibilities by passing the buck to the leftist County commissioners to determine health policy. Fortunately, they have no teeth so their policies are in large part ignored by most people - except the sheeple. I'm in the county rather than the city so I pay slightly lower property taxes but it also means I don't get to vote for city council. Trade-offs.
