Kirkbride letter: F-35 mission

For about 50 years Idaho’s largest commuter bus service has been in Idaho Falls. Daily buses circulate the city picking up and dropping off workers for the Department of Energy facility in the Arco desert 40 miles out of town.

No need for reactors in town. No radioactive waste in city parks. This simple solution applies to the Air Guard mission as well. Boise keeps our guardsmen and the rest of us keep our sanity.

Ken Kirkbride, Boise
