I've lived in Mtn Home since 1989, so that's...hold on...I'm thinking...WOW! Exactly 25 years! Boy, I think I can almost declare myself an Idahoan. But my family is British and I grew up in Louisiana around lots of other Brits so I still think I'm a little bit of a mutt. Those of you who have been around awhile may remember when I used to blog all the time. My opinions weren't very accepted and there was always an issue because I work for the county. That really wasn't fair because I NEVER blog at work! And I am still entitled to my opinions and thoughts about city and county issues, right? However, it stirred a lot of pots and those pots certainly can make a lot of noise! Since I'm a writer, I took what I wrote in my blog seriously so I spent a lot of time researching things which got exhausting to do when you're not even get a paycheck for it. So I stopped. That was a blessing to many! However, to this day, I still have people stop me and ask me why I wasn't blogging and t! hey missed it. I've missed it. Mainly because there are so many issues that come up and I have no voice except around my friends and I'm sure they are tired of it.

Energy Czar and Corrections

Posted Thursday, July 23, 2009, at 8:37 AM

I got excited about #4 Czar at first, as I was reading about her past. I could get on board for her. #4: Energy Czar: Carol M. Browner: Former secretary of the Florida Department of Environmental Regulations and appointed by Clinton in 1993 to the Environmental Protection Agency. According to Aswers.com; "Browner has been credited by both environmentalists as well as the Florida business community for being fair, knowledgeable, intelligent, and balanced in her approach to the environment and economics. Browner is being called one of a new breed of environmentalists because she believes that there can and should be a balance between environmental protection and economic development." She has made clean air a top priority to reduce air pollution in cost-effective, common-sense ways. For that she gets a thumbs-up! However, she once worked for Al Gore which just turned my thumb down!

Correction to Czar list. I found more Czars.

Gary Samore was listed previously as Terrorism-WMD but is now listed as #32. Non-Proliferation/WMD Czar and John Brennan is Terrorism Czar.

33. Eurasian Energy: Richard Morningstar

34. California Water: David Hays

35. Domestic Violence Czar: Lynn Rosenthal

I will post more about each Czar as I find the information.
