A Representative Selection of Comments (some excerpted from longer messages):

 

  • Glad session ended before you could do any more DAMAGE!
  • All new roads (and expansions) should include two lanes for bikes and pedestrians to encourage alternative travel. Noise pollution laws should be enforced on motorcycles.
  • Love you guys and proud that you represent me!
  • Thanks for the great job you guys do! I have absolutely no faith in the Idaho Legislature as a whole but I know you work hard to do what is right. I appreciate your integrity.
  • I'm happy you are MY team!!
  • … There ARE jobs here; it is just that people feel these jobs are beneath them. So instead, they would rather live off of unemployment for as long as they can. Too much of our money goes to unneeded entitlements!
  • You guys are great, very dedicated and accessible. Keep up the excellent work!
  • Thank you for putting up with several months of abuse each spring.
  • You might consider the Democrat's continued attack on the private sector and family budgets is creating a new victim class. Namely, the wage earner/tax payer…….
  • I love Team 17! You guys really do try your hardest to get things done, and we appreciate that very much…..
  • Honestly, I thought the team 17 handout seamed bias…..
  • I gave you guys only a 'b' because maybe you could have fought the republicans harder. Go for it!....
  • Thank you for voting against the Luna education reform. Is Team 17 in favor of the referendum? What about the recall?
  • Your nation is going broke.
  • 1. CUT SPENDING. Decrease Taxes 2. Reduce government regulations. Simplify. Too many laws and regulations for efficiency. Legislature could meet every 2 years……
  • I've appreciated the work that Team 17 has done, or attempted to do, so far. Sometimes, though, a little more "noise" would be good…….
