JUSTIN MACKERT MAY BE ONLY A SOPHOMORE, BUT HE KNOWS HOW TO THROW A BASEBALL......

SO WELL IN FACT THAT HE'S WON SIX GAMES WITHOUT A LOSS, AND HAS PITCHED HIS SOUTH FREMONT COUGARS INTO THIS WEEK'S STATE BASEBALL TOURNAMENT......

MACKERT, WHO ALSO PLAYS FOOTBALL AND BASKETBALL SPENDS AN EQUAL AMOUNT OF TIME WITH HIS BOOKS..... A PERFECT 4.0 GRADE POINT AVERAGE.....

AND THAT INTELLIGENCE SHOWS ON THE MOUND.......

JUSTIN MACKERT, WHO HOPES SOMEDAY TO BE AN ORTHOPEDIC SURGEON, IS A CLEAR CHOICE AS OUR KIDK STUDENT ATHLETE OF THE WEEK.........

Since state law requires a balanced state budget, Gov. Otter is concerned that falling tax revenue might force the state to make much deeper cuts than currently planned. What do you think about the Idaho law requiring a balanced budget?

  • It seemed like a good idea at the time, but these are unusual times. How much more can we cut out of education, etc.? We need to revisit the balanced budget law.
  • If more education funding and state services need to be cut, so be it. Sometimes it's painful to live within a budget, but it's the right thing to do.
  • Not sure.
