Local Man from American Falls Turns Against Republicans

Good morning, have you read your local paper? Today’s small-town American newspaper: The Aberdeen Times and the Power County Press, which share both a website and adjacency to Idaho’s Craters of the Moon national monument. Their top story today: Pigeon poo presents perplexing problem for A.F. City Council. Oh yes, Aberdeen’s neighbor, American Falls, is in trouble:

An overabundance of pigeons leaving their calling card on buildings and sidewalks in downtown American Falls led to a slightly humorous, but serious discussion at the American Falls City Council meeting Wednesday, April 6.

Several citizens voiced their willingness to use their shotguns to help with the pigeon problem on Idaho Street. However, American Falls Chief of Police Brandon Wilkinson vetoed that idea.

Also? There is a noteworthy letter to the editor….

To the editor,
I became so frustrated with the actions of the Republican Party during this last session, that I considered changing my status to that of an Independent. But after reconsideration and the legislature’s overturning of the state’s open primary system, I think I will stay registered as a Republican, so I can vote the “lunatics” out of office.

You can subscribe to the weekly paper for $30 in-state, $35 out-of-state or $27 locally for a year. It’s a bargain actually!
