Rural, Underfunded, with a high incidence of Mental Illness

[libodem]

And a Republican governor who won't expand Medicaid:

Beautiful State run by ugly I don't care TeaBillies.

3. BIG error in that story...

Grangeville is NOT along Interstate 95 because there is no I-95 anywhere near there, in fact it's way the hell over on the east coast of the country!! And there is NO Interstate Hwy within three hours' drive of Grangeville which is located along US95 at the jct of State route 13 about an hour south of US12.



Honestly, and this is an article from the capitol city of Idaho... Mental illness isn't the only problem in Idaho, lack of education is yet another among the many.

4. The rest of us living here get it.

Dan only mentioned I-95 once in his whole story, in the 2nd sentence of the first paragraph.
As the rest of us calmer, more collected Idahoans are well aware, US 95 is the major North-South highway in Idaho, although it is not an interstate highway, per se.

Sheesh, have some chocolate, try to calm down.

5. I'm sure that other

Idaho residents do get it, but given the small population of the state I'm sure that those not familiar with Idaho may not... apparently the post was not meant for you. Trust me, you'll get over it.

I find it interesting that geographic info is so passe for those trying to inform folks from elsewhere. I no longer dwell in Idaho but I'm just over the border and also (still) live a good 100 miles from the nearest Interstate Hwy. Explaining that to visitors when asked where the walmart or target is comes to mind whenever I see an error like the one in the article. The look on their faces is well worth telling them they passed it two hours ago.
