  1                               A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
  2    STATING LEGISLATIVE FINDINGS AND HONORING THE IDAHO FALLS POST REGISTER ON THE
  3        ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY OF ITS FOUNDING.
                                                                        
  4    Be It Resolved by the Legislature of the State of Idaho:
                                                                        
  5        WHEREAS, the Idaho Register was first published in Eagle Rock in  July  of
  6    1880  by  William  Wheeler  and  over the years that newspaper merged with the
  7    Times to become the Times-Register; and
  8        WHEREAS, J. Robb Brady, son of former  Idaho  Governor  and  U.S.  Senator
  9    James  Brady, purchased the Daily Post in Idaho Falls in 1925 and died shortly
 10    thereafter and E. F. McDermott became publisher, a  post  he  held  until  his
 11    death in 1977; and
 12        WHEREAS, in 1931 the Daily Post and the Times-Register merged, forming the
 13    Post-Register,  a  name  it  has retained since,  although the hyphen was con-
 14    signed to obscurity in 1989; and
 15        WHEREAS, the Post Register's history and longevity  are  rare,  but  rarer
 16    still is the fact that the newspaper today remains privately and locally owned
 17    and  even  more unusual is that forty-nine percent of the newspaper's stock is
 18    employee owned; and
 19        WHEREAS, since 1998, nearly all  of  the  newspaper's  profits  have  gone
 20    toward buying stock in the paper on behalf of its employees; and
 21        WHEREAS,  the  Post  Register is Idaho's second largest newspaper, serving
 22    ten eastern Idaho counties and reaching more than  sixty  thousand  readers  a
 23    day.
 24        NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the members of the First Regular Session
 25    of the Fifty-eighth Idaho Legislature, the Senate and the House of Representa-
 26    tives  concurring therein, that we wish to recognize and commend the important
 27    achievement of the  Post Register's one hundred  twenty-fifth  anniversary  of
 28    its founding.
 29        BE  IT  FURTHER  RESOLVED, that the Secretary of the Senate be, and she is
 30    hereby authorized and directed to send a copy of this resolution to Mr.  Roger
 31    Plothow, the Publisher of the Post Register.
