Like so many of you, I set a resolution each new year. It’s usually something I want to accomplish or something I want to work on. It’s a time to set a goal to work towards, and hopefully, put me on the right path for the rest of the year. Each new year at the Idaho Legislature, we also make resolutions.

How does someone work in New Meadows when their child goes to school near their home in Council? Is the best detour really 200 miles around? How do you get fuel to heat your home from the nearest supplier in Cambridge?

Lucky for me, my Olympic sport, biathlon, required an exceptional level of mental control and composure.
