Souza Dumped From P&Z Commission

On a unanimous vote following an executive session last night, the Coeur d'Alene City Council dumped outspoken critic Mary Souza from the P&Z commission "for cause." The motion was made by Dixie Reid, seconded by Deanna Goodlander, and approved without discussion. The action took about 3 minutes after executive session. The council then adjourned.

Update: Mayor Sandi Bloem said she couldn't comment on Souza's ouster b/c it was a personnel issue. She stated only that she probably won't make appointments for the vacancies involving Souza and John Bruning, who was elected to the City Council earlier this month, until January.
