In my garage toolbox, I have a special tool that releases the spring that holds a set of automobile drum-brake shoes in place.
If you've ever done a brake job, you know what a pain it is to do one without the right tools.
I think I last used that tool in 1988 while in the Army at Fort Benning, Ga. to do a brake job on the 1971 Ford F100 that I had just bought for $700.
Two decades later, the tool still sits in my toolbox just in case I need it again.
This week, Idaho legislators started cleaning out Idaho's economic development tool box, and I have to wonder if they may be throwing away some important tools they may need again someday.

He built the biggest project in Downtown Boise in many years. Now BoDo developer Mark Rivers has turned his attention - some of it, anyway - to give other entrepreneurs a place to do business.
In mid-April, Rivers will open the Boise WaterCooler in the former Boise Heating & Cooling building on the corner of 14th and Idaho streets.
