On January 12, 2021, Johnny Robles was an Idaho licensed bail agent for Mr. Bail, Inc. (Mr. Bail) when he arranged a bail bond for an individual at the Twin Falls County Jail. Robles requested $35,000 in cash as collateral for the bail bond, along with a $15,000 fee to cover the bail premium. Robles received the collateral and the fee from the individual being bailed out of jail and provided a receipt to this person. On April 7, 2022, the bail bond was exonerated, and the individual requested the return of their $35,000 collateral. However, Robles only returned $10,000 and stated that the rest of the collateral was his personal fee for posting the bail bond.
Opinion
No agent of utopian change is permitted the luxury of a personal conscience or a private life. Every taboo can be violated, every relationship betrayed, every limit overpassed, to bring about utopia.

We each come to Christ on our own, not through our bloodline.

Who has oversight of our local libraries? By Idaho code § 33-2715, our board of trustees which consists of five elected members overseas our libraries. I am happy to inform the voters of what this board has actually accomplished, and what I see on the board's immediate horizon.
Editorial
In a recent civil court proceeding, it became glaringly apparent that Idaho law harms youthful, low-income citizens who are disadvantaged and even prohibited from fair and just treatment by being forced to stand alone against experienced trial attorneys or go into significant debt to obtain “legal representation.”
Editorial In an editorial published on February 26, the Hagadone Media Corporation through its Coeur d’Alene Press publication appears to support “the right” to ignore a lawful order issued by the highest law enforcement officer in the county.

The American Family
The family migrated by covered wagon to Humptulips, which is a Salish word meaning “hard to pole.” Living near her paternal grandparent’s farm was a delight for young Ruby. “I shot my first gun at four years old. My uncle held the rifle, and I pulled the trigger. We shot at Campbell’s soup cans. He was a World War II veteran who fought with Patton.”
