It is a unique way of demonstrating against the state government. A member of my radio audience has filed a complaint in small claims court against Governor Brad Little and St. Luke’s Magic Valley. As some of you know, the governor is flooding the hospital with some of the COVID relief money provided by the federal government. Dollars that you will have to cover with taxes. The governor is also using National Guard troops to help Idaho’s supposedly overwhelmed hospitals. Calling the Guard comes at a monetary cost.

The guy who complains doesn’t expect much recourse but he wanted to make a statement. He lives here in Twin Falls and is a regular contributor to Magic Valley This Morning on Newsradio 96.1 FM and Newsradio 1310 KLIX. You can read his complaint highlighted in italics.

By means contrary to the constitution of the State of Idaho, Governor Brad
Little and St. Luke’s Magic Valley Medical Center embezzled my tax
funds without a public hearing or appropriate justification of any kind. Brad Little has
used emergency powers to use taxpayer funds to enrich and aid the magic of Saint-Luke
Valley Medical Center without legislative approval. As St. Luke’s Magic Valley is
a private entity, it is unfair that Brad Little is using my taxes to support
and help from a private company without a public hearing or legislative approval.
In addition, the two defendants did not provide the public with 5 years of
hospital data to justify the existence of a health emergency that justifies
Use of emergency powers by Brad Little.

I’ll wait and see if the mainstream media picks up the story. I won’t hold my breath! The left-handers who make up most newsrooms support the governor almost every moment when it comes to his response to the pandemic.
