Well folks, it\u2019s political season again and speculation about the next eleven weeks is running rampant. Political types have pulled out tired old campaign rhetoric to try to wow us, once again. One of my favorites is the old clich\u00e9 about, \u201cFamily values.\u201d I\u2019ll tell you a little bit about what the phrase means to me.<\/p>\n
I value my family so much that I want to be sure we live in a community and a state in which our constitutional rights are protected. I value my family so much that I want our government to have a different set of priorities. For example, last year at a COMPASS (Community Planning Association of Southwest Idaho) Board Meeting, I learned that the Idaho Transportation Department does not prioritize the implementation of signalized crosswalks even at locations known to be dangerous, until someone gets killed there. <\/p>\n
As a mother of six children, ranging in age from 23 down to six, I have a different view of \u201cfamily values.\u201d Let\u2019s start placing a high enough value on the people of our state \u2013 including our children \u2013 that we take a proactive approach to public safety. Family values must begin with valuing our Idaho families.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
