Buildingcredibility.com founder Trey Langford is trying to make a good point about who’s moving in and at whom we should point the finger. California and surrounding states continue to be the driving force of new residents in Idaho, he said. And, to back it up, he’s got some good charts and great facts to show the in-migration numbers.
College of Idaho is one of the winners in the Wal-Mart Foundation’s Wal-Mart College Success Awards. Twenty members of the Council of Independent Colleges will receive $100,000 grants to help build on programs that support first-generation students.

This is not a bad thing, people moving to Idaho...and yes, wanting to change things. Idaho can stand the change, we have a lot that's screwed up. And an entrenched, parasitic political class that's directly responsible for it.

Sure, because California is working so well right now with a balanced budget, gas under $4, strict adherence to federal immigration laws, and crime-free inner cities that we rubes should let them replicate it here to.
Let me guess: everybody with an R next to their name stinks, blah, blah, blah.

People moving in is a good thing, and change is natural and fine.
The problem comes when people move here and believe that we are an entrenched, parasitic political class that's directly responsible for things being "screwed up" - when things are actually the way we have crafted them and wish them to be.
Those people can go away.

It's either them or us. Good to know all the rubes in Hideeho are sufficiently self-assured to remain unaffected by this dribble.
Why not wall the place off and secure for posterity this carefully crafted Garden of Eden?
On the other hand, absent the various complexes extant, the whole thing may not be so complex.

Dear Joe, I'm not sure you preemptive strike is in the right direction. It isn't an "R" vs "D", but rather a rural vs urban.

Well at least we must be getting the smart Californians, those wanting to get out of that 'D' and 'urban' mess and have a better life for their families...
