Boise Weekly - Idaho's Only Alternative: BW Beat: BW Beat: North Idaho Dem leaves log cabin for Lush
Ok I know I said I was going to try and control my cynicism, but I can't resist myself. Honestly I don't care about the LGBT issue. What does concern me?
"Bonner County legislative candidate C.J. Rose has never been to Boise. The soon-to-be-61-year-old retired teacher lives in a log cabin near Spirit Lake. She heats and cooks with wood. She has to drive to town for mail and a cell signal."
"Rose hopes to bring diversity to Boise, but not just the sexual orientation kind. She is rural. She is a Democrat."

It's a good read especially if you're thinking about getting funding for your startup. Although I don't know that I fully agree with his final statement. If you don't like the deal, don't do something you'll regret a few months later. But make sure that you're right, because you don't always get a second chance.
