State money also taxpayers’

I am quite sure we need to approve a referendum to build new schools.

However, I question why the school board did not ask for grant money to help build new schools instead of a new administration building.

If the children and education is their first priority, an admin building could have waited.

Too late now, but please keep in this in mind the next time school board members are up for election.

Keep in mind grant money is ultimately your money also. It is not free money!

Just saying!

Wildlife officials said Tuesday, Aug. 10, 2021, that an emergency trap-and-truck operation of Idaho-bound endangered sockeye salmon, due to high water temperatures in the Snake and Salomon rivers, netted enough fish at the Granite Dam in eastern Washington, last month, to sustain an elaborate hatchery program.
