Paulos: Sims’ Anti-LCDC Pamphlet Could Shed Light
Item: Pamphlet sheds light on LCDC operations/Bob Paulos, Coeur d'Alene Press
More Info: Kathy Sims, a former Idaho state senator from this district, is distributing a booklet about the state's Urban Renewal Act, citing instances in which she says Lake City Development Corporation has abused the intent of the law.
DFO: I'd planned to ignore most anti-LCDC rantings this year -- until they became unavoidable for comment. But old Bob Paulos seems to have picked up Mary Souza's mantle as the point man for Press attacks. And this column offers a rare new bit of info in this ongoing controversy: Kathy Sims, part of the brain trust behind the 11th-hour attack ad against Coeur d'Alene City Council incumbents, is on the attack again, by trying to coax legislators into the anti-urban renewal camp. I'm not surprised that she'd go after Repubs who may be more sympathetic than the residents of CDA.
