I spent a few years as a member of the Idaho Falls Post Register Local Columnist board. Every six weeks, I got to write a column that appeared on the Opinions page. I was always free to choose a topic, and very little editing was involved (meaning, there wasn't much interaction between me and the page editor, other than a reminder that a column was due and a brief message from me when I sent it in). Eventually, they decided that they needed new blood, so I was discontinued.
But I miss being able to have a forum and a reason to comment! So I have started this blog. I intend to publish a weekly commentary by Saturday at noon. I don't have a specific area that I will focus on, but this blog is likely to focus on public policy, education, federal & state legislation, and the like.
I hope that there will be something here to spark thought and further discussion.
