The Bushnell Report

At the June Meeting of the Kootenai Metropolitan Planning Organization, a local resident points out that there is no way to opt out of the cameras and surveillance that is part of this proposed traffic management center. Thank you to CDA Freedom Watch for recording the meeting. www.thebushnellreport.com

Spencer asks Commissioner Bradshaw directly about his threat to Commissioner Williams. Bradshaw responds. www.thebushnellreport.com

All the legislators were asked to raise their hand if they agreed with the following questions: - Do you agree with Crapo and Risch on approving aid to Ukraine? - Do you believe the greater Idaho movement should continue? - Do you agree that something should be done about bills not being given a hearing during the legislative session? - Do you think Governor Little is receptive to conservative bills? - Do.you think legislation could be introduced where people who needed blood could get unvaccinated blood? - Is the Idaho Freedom Foundation scores the main way to determine a legislators effectiveness? Each legislator then was given one minute to discuss what they would like to accomplish in the next legislative session. This is video from the Kootenai County Republican Central Committee hosted a Kootenai County Legislator Town Hall on 4/27/24. From Left to Right: Idaho State Senator Phil Hart, Idaho State Senator Carl Bjerke, Idaho State Representative Ron Mendive, Idaho State Representative Tony Wisniewski, Idaho State Representative Elaine Price, Idaho State Senator Ben Toews, Idaho State Representative Joe Alfieri, Idaho State Representative Jordan Redman, Idaho State Representative Vito Barbieri, and Idaho State Senator Doug Okuniewicz. MC: Kootenai County Commissioner Bruce Mattare www.thebushnellreport.com

Governor Little, if you truly cared about redoubling your commitment to peaceful assembly and civil discourse then get rid of the stages of opening. Public meeting attendance is restricted due to your "stage 2".

"...with a vaccine the end of the battle is in sight." What about the battle for our Constitutional rights? www.thebushnellreport.com

Optional Forms of Government Interview "Some people don't like the idea of us (the commissioners) being able to fire the Sheriff (if appointed). Fillios then mentions the Constitution and makes the quotation sign with his hands. Really? The Constitution is more than just standing up to the federal government. The Sheriff of a county is a check against other elected officials like County Commissioners. www.bushnellreport.com

"...there are democrats getting other democrats to register Republican, and ask Democrats to outreach to reasonable Republicans. A good example of where is this needed is in Legislative District 1 where there is a large majority of conservative voters." "We are estimating that there are 12 races in the Republican primary that will come down to 1000 votes based on historical data." Are the democrats supporting Woodward and Dixon in Legislative District 1?

At the April 14th meeting of the Hayden City Council, Councilman Saterfiel expressed that he didn't think the City Council could make an unbiased decision regarding who would be picked for mayor. He wouldn't admit that he has bias. My concern is that he wants a committee to pick the mayor or the governor. Not the elected officials voted in by the residents of Hayden. This sounds similar to what has been going on at North Idaho College with their trustees. www.thebushnellreport.com

Listen to North Idaho College Trustee Brad Corkill talk about his stance on mask mandates and vaccine mandates. www.thebushnellreport.com

Chad asked a great question at the Dec 21st meeting of the North Idaho College Board of Trustees. He asked what is the charter or purpose of the Board of Trustees. From the NIC webpage: North Idaho College is governed by a volunteer five-member board of trustees who are elected at large from within Kootenai County for staggered, four-year terms. Trustees derive their authority from and hold office in accordance with Idaho Code. The responsibilities of the board of trustees are outlined in policy #02.01.02 of the North Idaho College Policy Manual, and include the following: To determine the broad general policies which govern the operation of the college district. To select and appoint the president of the college who is responsible for the general administration and implementation of board policies in the ongoing operations of the college. To approve annual budgets. www.thebushnellreport.com

Bonner County Commissioner MacDonald was rude to Commissioner Williams during a discussion about an MLU/memorandum of understanding. This was during the 5/16/23 business meeting of the Bonner County Commissioner. Consider joining me in emailing Bonner County Commissioner Bradshaw regarding his treatment of Commissioner Williams. steven.bradshaw@bonnercountyid.gov www.thebushnellreport.com

80 people attended a rally at the Coeur d'Alene School District office to speak out on how parental rights are being trampled upon by a district employee. Schools should work with parents, not hide things from them. www.thebushnellreport.com

Kootenai County Commissioner Bill Brooks “Managed a public radio station in Anchorage. I was one of the few conservatives in public board casting.” Really? How is Brooks a conservative when he wants to take away elected positions? www.thebushnellreport.com

The proposal to limit public comment at Coeur d'Alene City Council meetings was taken off the agenda. Mayor Hammond apologized. Dan English and Kiki Miller made comments about how they want more restrictions on public comment. (Is it just me or is Dan English really hard to follow/understand?) www.thebushnellreport.com

At the June Meeting of the Kootenai Metropolitan Planning Organization, Teresa gives more details on the controls that a traffic management center puts on a local population during her public comment. Thank you to CDA Freedom Watch for recording the meeting. www.thebushnellreport.com

At the June Meeting of the Kootenai Metropolitan Planning Organization, Davaul points out that due to her 30 years in federal law enforcement she knows that if the federal government wants the data from the traffic management center they will find a way to get it. Thank you to CDA Freedom Watch for recording the meeting. www.thebushnellreport.com

Discussion on the electing of Chair and Vice Chair of the Community Library Board of Trustees. Trustee Robinson gave a report that she was asked to give. Robinson is shocked that the slate she recommended is not agreed to. It is interesting that Robinson thinks that "experts" need to be in charge. Why does Robinson think that the board will fall apart if her recommended slate is not followed? Why did Robinson say, "absolute not", when voting no on Ottosen for chair. That comes across as juvenile and rude.

Suzanne gives a very sarcastic public comment at the Community Library Networks April 17th meeting. Thank you to Friends of the CLN Network for the video clip. www.thebushnellreport.com

Marianna gives public comment at the Community Library Network's recent April meeting. She makes good points about how the new law signed by the governor will affect CLN. www.thebuhsnellreport.com
