Larry Spencer's latest 11th-hour election mailings hit mailboxes today. Seems Jai Nelson has turned his head in the Kootenai County commissioner GOPrimary for Chairman Rick Currie's seat

re: Rick Currie: One of the weak areas he has is the lack of vision or direction to lead the county in. The county is not unlike a ship drifting aimlessly in circles with a broken rudder, with Currie at the helm insisting he can make things work, he just "needs some more time."

re: Tom Cronin: My concern is that he is bought and paid for by businesses that will get the vote they want if they can get him elected, and he is not interested in representing the average people and their concerns

re: Jai Nelson: If I could use three words to describe her, they would be fair, balanced and wise. She is a lifelong resident, and I think she is the only candidate who did not have to change her party affiliation to run as a Republican.
