Otter vetoes SB 1080 amid conflicts over bill’s funding - Tue, 16 Apr 2013 PST
BOISE – Changes in Idaho law designed to make sure public corruption and open meeting law violations by county officials are adequately investigated have been vetoed by a governor who actually supports the changes. Gov. Butch Otter, caught in a spat between House leaders and the state attorney general’s office, vetoed SB 1080 last week because funding for the new program was yanked in a separate bill. “I agree with this legislation’s intent,” Otter wrote in his veto message. “Unfortunately, the decision by the House of Representatives not to take up the … appropriation in SB 1195 makes my veto necessary.”

Huckleberries: Councilman’s free parking stratagem shot down - Sun, 07 Apr 2013 PST

Adams was involved in a joint meeting of the council and Lake City Development Corporation when his red Ford pickup was tagged with a ticket for overstaying its two-hour welcome in the Coeur d’Alene Library lot. Which, BTW, is reserved for library patrons.

A Coeur d'Alene home and mold inspection is no different than a Hayden home inspection, or a home inspection in Post Falls. The difference is in the home inspector. Remember, In Idaho, anyone with a flashlight and a stepladder may call themselves a “home inspector”. Beware of self-proclaimed “certifications”! Only InterNACHI Home Inspectors must successfully pass an examination before being accepted and Certified; over 70% of the applicants fail the exam. Many other inspector "societies" simply allow applicants to send in their membership fee, with no prior experience or testing.
