Just another human trying to navigate life one day at a time. A friend to the friendless.






One family. One property. 116 years of property taxes. Her grandfather bought land in Bonner County in 1910, three years after the county was formed. It passed to her parents in the 1940s, then to her. Never sold on the open market. Same family for 116 years. Every year the county tells her what it's "worth" based on what someone else's house sold for. Every year the bill goes up. The kitchen still has her Mom's cookstove from the 1940s. Her father was a cat mechanic at the logging camps. Her mother cooked at Priest Lake. They cleared the brush by hand and built the home that's still standing today. 116 years of property taxes on land that has never been sold. When is it enough? #idpol #PropertyTax #idleg
