Here is a summary of notes/observations from that day. The courtroom the hearing was held in was small. It was packed with lo

Wow, Hayden City Councilman Roetter didn't want to abide by the set time for public comment. Quite a bit of what he said was half truths or inaccurate. Then Roetter goes on to be rude in public to Councilwoman White yet again. No attempt to resolve the issue with the quorum privately from what I can tell. Eight minutes into the video there is a discussion about hiring a consultant to figure out how Hayden can have its own police force in the future. Why is a consultant needed

Around Nov 20th there were a series of posts by an X account for Danielle Van Noy. https://x.com/Danielle_VanNoy/status/1991456503795163618 A few days later Paul Van Noy posted a response. https://www.facebook.com/CandlelightChristianFellowship The thing that gives me pause is who was sharing it around at first. Some of the people/pages are either anonymous accounts or are pages that tend towards gossip. I suggest that you pray after reading both links. I encourage you to pra

Who is the detective/investigator who was involved with charges regarding the February town hall event where a person was removed by the sheriff? It looks like it was former CDA police office Hailey, who is now the appointed police chief of Rathdrum PD, and the soon to retire CDA Police Chief White. Is it reasonable for me to expect a police officer to be able to understand the difference between the powers of the County Sheriff and his jurisdiction? Here is a link to Idaho C
