SR Edit: Tear Down Old Post Falls City Hall

Full post here

What's being described in Post Falls as "old City Hall" is a misnomer. The building, which is scheduled to be torn down next year after city government moves into quarters now under construction, isn't even 30 yet. Probably most of the people who work there are older. So "current" City Hall is a better term, even if it lacks the subtle implications about historic preservation. The structure's fate has become a divisive issue in the growing Kootenai County community as voters approach the Nov. 6 general election when they will decide whether to proceed with demolition or spare the '70s-era structure and require city officials to revisit a number of decisions – and costs – associated with the new City Hall/Spokesman-Review Editorial Board.

Question: Agree? Disagree?
