Prop. 1 good for Idaho; Prop. 2 deceives us

To the Editor:

Dr. Paul Connett respected world-wide

I, too, would like to commend Mayor Kerby on his receipt of the Harold Hurst Award because of the great job he did in the beautification and upgrade of downtown Bonners Ferry. As a volunteer at the Visitor's Center, I am proud to say that yes, I live here and I love this place and the beauty welcomes me every morning. I do not mind the tourism, it helps local businesses during the summer months, and it contributes to our place on the Selkirk Loop, a road trip that exemplifies some of the very special and spectacular beauty that America has to offer.
