<DIV>I fully agree with Chris Storhok and his statement that the Idaho
legislature are the people partly responsible for the dire straights the
University of Idaho finds itself. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>One of the first dumb laws the legislature passed this session was to
continue letting blue grass farmers burn their fields and screw the people who
have asthma and breathing problems. This action could only come from a bunch of
ignorant farmers using archaic farming methods. The state of Washington stopped
this burning a few years ago and I still see blue grass being produced there.
Much of the land where Idaho farmers are growing blue grass is marginal land
that isn't much good for anything else. What in the hell is the EPA for? Why
can't they stop this? </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>They had perfect opportunity to fund education this past week with their CF
(those who have been in the military know what CF means) handling of the
renewal of the cigarette tax. Idaho has the lowest cigarette tax in
the area and they should have added $1.00 on to the tax for a total of $1.57 a
pack for cigarettes and used the money for education but no, these people are
just too damn stupid!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The main person responsible for the mess the university is in is Robert
Hoover. If I was being laid off I would be down there in his office threatening
him with bodily harm for being such an A** Hole. He is the guy who needs some
pressure as he is the dink who pushed the program that was a disaster. I
couldn't believe it when they reported that one whole floor of the building they
have in Boise was for his office. What an arrogant prick.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It is time for me to step off this soap box.</DIV>
