Extra! Gookin Truck Just Pulled Out of CDA Inn …

My Berry Pickers tell me that there's a truck roaming the city, wrapped like a billboard, supporting the Lake City Development Corp foes: Dan Gookin, Jim Brannon and Susie Snedaker. One of my MPs was on the truck's bumper as it pulled out of the Coeur d'Alene Inn about 5 minutes ago. Apparently, on the back of the full-size U-Haul (that the MP described as looking like one of the trucks Mary Souza uses for her business), it screams: "Citizens of Coeur d'Alene take back your city." And: "No more rubber stamps on the City Council." It also has check-marked boxes supporting Gookin, Brannon and Snedaker. On the driver's side of the truck is a large -- shudder! -- photo of Gookin. On the passenger's side, there's a large photo of Brannon. Stay tuned.
