I’d argue that the bigger problem is the career politicians who have been there too long and now function only to enrich themselves and their corporate sponsors.
Ruff… in cities they have little Italy, the International district etc. it could be said people go where they are comfortable and give them refuge .
The same Nicki Haley who kicked off her campaign with an intro from her idol the Anti-Semite, anti-Muslim bat-crap eating John Hagee?
I also have a friend who also is african american and liked to fish. When he was a guest to our lake place, the Palouse farmers dropped the n-word in droves to my dad after the visit. He told them to f*ck off.
That’s not why they are going tk idaho …
In County wide elections, the County almost always votes republican. Look at the County Commissioner races. Big pockets of the City of Spokane are liberal but even city wide it’s pretty close to 50-50.
Well…nobody’s perfect.
Spokane City Council is a 5-2 majority of liberals/progressives. Spokane County Commissioners is the opposite majority.
No clue what your understanding and interpretation of Sandpoint even is. Im in and around that area regrlularly, so if you're a King County resident (or thereabouts) I'm guessing yours is vastly different than mine.
Hunh. Out of the myriad of newcomers to N Idaho I've chatted with over the past 2 years, I've yet to hear that line of reasoning. Not once.
So they can pay income tax in Idaho every year until they die? Not sure I follow that logic - although to be fair I have no idea what inheritance tax looks like in Washington, Cali or Idaho. But how about you gift the nontaxable annual max to your kids and family (still 10K?/year) then will a buttload to charity?
I haven't been to Sandpoint in 5-6 years, but it seemed like a somewhat moderate city to me. Farther North? Not so much.
Oh sure - Spokane has always been pretty conservative but I wouldn’t lump all conservatives or all people voting Republican in with the brand they are selling in Idaho.
15K/year tax free but assuming a spouse each parent can gift so it’s up to 30K/year.
Damn I'm going to have to nut up to my kids and soon to be 2nd grandkid. Although I'm not rich - gotta hold a bit back for whoever the next golddigger is. And my liver transplant.
Foley got the boot in large part due to the House banking scandal and anti-democrat vitriol of Newt and Co. fueled by cable TV and the likes of Rush Limbaugh. Stupid farmers voted against him too even though he was real good to them.
I do g have an observation of Idaho, or Idaho . I am no position . It is someone’s home . Someone who lived in wva from 8-12, family after I was 20 moved to Oklahoma and then Indiana, with stops in between , Idaho wva etc are someone’s home and they live their home .
Still no clue what your understanding or interpretation of Sandpoint is. Please elaborate.
Spent any time in downtown Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, or LA recently?
Yeah...remember "defund the police!" and all that idiocy from the left back in 2020? They sure have backed away from that disaster (at least rhetorically).
Another example of why not to live in that POS state. I've been on that stretch of river many times.
Claude Dallas, Ruby Ridge, etc. Can't believe I worked there for damn near 8 years.
Video shows speeding truck chasing terrified moose as it runs along northern Idaho river
A video recorded earlier this month shows a terrified moose running along a river in northern Idaho as it tries to escape a truck chasing it from behind.www.foxweather.com
It’s all part of his flex charade on here. He’s done this for years. He tries to name drop wealthy or powerful individuals in his world that nobody on here knows or cares about to somehow solidify his point of view/narrative. He’s to the core a real egotistical Ass
It is 16k I believe. That is how I would spend my money, and one of the charities would be wsu. On the other hand I don't tell people how to spend their money.
CE, first I would like to congratulate you on not doxing me and putting up my name and address. You have grown up I see.
Annual gift tax exclusion is $17K (single) and $34K for a married couple. Lifetime gift limit is $12.92 million.
I stand corrected too - it is 17K for 23’. Was 16k for 22’ and 15k for the previous 4 years. Adjusting for high inflation?
Actually drove into east Portland today for a haircut on Sandy blvd where I’ve been getting my hair cut for about 15 years - no sign of homeless or their trash, or campers, stolen shit etc. as lots of them have been forced to move but it still looks like a god damned war zone with all of the vacant, boarded up and graffitied store fronts.
ID and WA BOTH want your money, they just go about it in different ways. Before I retired (2012) I did a lot of investigation into how the two states taxed their citizens and how it compared. I wanted to know if there was a significant difference that should guide us into determining which side of the state line we lived, given that we were zeroing in on the Spokane/CDA area to move to. Given our known savings and projected future income from pensions, Social Security, and IRA/401k withdrawals, it turned out that there was no major difference. I suspected that ID MIGHT be slightly more expensive ($500-1,000/ year) in the long run, which was not enough to dictate staying in WA to retire. So we looked at property in both areas and finally got lucky with a wonderful place north of CDA.
Look into the provisions for transfer on death in Washington. Effectively, it transfers real property immediately upon death - it’s not part of your estate and isn’t subject to probate. I’m not sure if it applies only to primary residence or not.
Yes. There are many fine people in both Colfax and Ritzville.
That’s been the commute pattern for years but it’s starting to change a bit. It’s really hard to live on service job wages in Idaho with their higher housing costs so there’s more and more of those peeps heading to Idaho for work though not necessarily 8-5 ers.
