Privately Funded should mean Privately Funded

If private investors want to build this highway, then they should pay for the feasibility study, not the taxpayers.

I do respect our soldiers

Kert, I do respect the people in our military. I am not bashing them in any way. But our government sends our kids off to fight other people's wars that are in no way threatening our freedom or liberty. Our military should be defending our country and we should let other countries sort out their own problems. Many of these soldiers come back and can't function in society and their lives are ruined. They are the uncounted casualties of war. I feel for them and for their families.

Casualty of unnecessary war

The police officer didn't kill this man, the military did. He was sent off to a war we have no business being in, and exposed to horrific experiences no human should have to endure. The military recruiters come into the schools and entice our children with promises of free education, adventure and all sorts of other things. They fail to mention that they may lose their life, limbs or sanity in the process. Once the are in and see the reality of what they signed up for, there is no way out. I feel for this man and his family, and urge our young people to take a good hard look at what they are signing up for before joining the military.

Exemption

How can they just exempt themselves? Isn't that like saying you don't need to obey the speed limit because you are exempt?

Exemption

What makes Lewiston eligible for the exemption? It seems that the idea of 100 miles between facilities is that they don't pull from the same demographic area and hurt each other. If every town has slot machines, the big facilities will go bankrupt. Everyone wants to jump on the bandwagon for easy money and in the end nobody will win.

Blame the republicans?

Dan, That is just plain ridiculous. Republicans (or Democrats for that matter) did not cause these callous, sick people to steal family pets and kill them for sport. These low-life people have no consciences and no empathy, either for the dogs or the families that owned and loved them. I sincerely hope they are caught and prosecuted to the full extent of the law before any other animals are hurt or killed.
