I’ve written this letter to advise Washington county residents of a campaign that began in January 2025 and has continued into this year. It’s been a campaign of innuendos, accusations, rumors, lies and half-truths. It has targeted several who are working hard to clean up the mess in our County. The main target is our Prosecuting Attorney True Pearce.
Many don’t know that it was our County Sheriff’s Office who sought out True Pearce to run for Prosecutor in WA County. I was at the Country Coffee Cabin when Sheriff Thomas, along with Deputies, his Detective, the Mayor of Midvale and Mr. Pearce came in to announce that Pearce had agreed to run. We were advised of many reasons why this had occurred.
Most of the Letters to the Editor against Pearce are from people who were close to the Planning and Zoning Commission, or are the former rebellious P&Z members, themselves. They seem to have a lot riding on regaining their positions after being let go for refusing to work with our new Prosecuting Attorney.
The constant letters and fliers, and now even a Petition to have Pearce recalled, passed out across the County have blamed everything on Pearce. I’m frankly surprised they haven’t blamed him for the lack of snowpack here in Idaho this year.
If anyone would like specifics, I’d be happy to provide them to you.
You may contact me at carolyn2885@gmail.com and I will provide you with a detailed breakdown of all of that has transpired — or, what you might call “The Rest of the Story.”
