This was written by Idaho Statesman Editorial Board Member Kevin Richert in response to a reader’s question as to who sits on the editorial board. It’s rather interesting out of all of the citizens in Eagle the Statesman chooses Jason Pierce. What the Statesman did not address was why the newspaper feels it must continually campaign for Phil Bandy.

Thank you for your recent e-mail.
Let me answer your question about the makeup of our editorial board. Jason Pierce is one of our five board members; he is our community representative. We ask one or two community representatives — from various towns, and of a variety of political backgrounds — to sit on our board and share their expertise. Perce started with us in June, and the terms usually run six months or so.

In one of our editorial board meetings, I asked Pierce to help us understand the Eagle budget debate from his perspective. Ultimately, however, I wrote the piece on which reflects the opinion of the five members of the board — which also includes Statesman President and Publisher Mi-Ai Parrish; editor Vicki Gowler; assistant editorial page editor Dave Bomar; and myself.

Again, thank you for asking.
