CDALocal: CdA Well Represented

Do you really see Coeur d’Alene as such a miserable place controlled by big money and crooked politicians, or do fear it could happen and want to expose the next big political controversy. I read Mary Souza’s open CDA web site and see nothing but paranoia and sensationalism. I listen to so many of of you sit and wonder about where you guys come up with these statements about individuals character. Wow Kennedy got mad at some one … and here I was thinking he was a saint. Our mayor wears nice clothes, dang I thought she should run council meeting in a burlap sack. Our city is well represented and respected across the state do to the hard work of our city and those that came before them/CDALocal. Full post here.

DFO: I found this CDALocal comment among the fomentations on a Coeur d’Alene Press thread re: “Brannon will seek recount.” I agree with CDALocal’s bottom line. Coeur d’Alene is well represented. Ditto for Post Falls and Hayden. Dunno the cast of characters in Rathdrum. Anyone with eyes in his/her head who saw what this town was like in the 1980s before Sandi Bloem, the a mover and shaker in the Downtown Association, finally got warring parties to pull together knows we’ve come a long way because of her and progressive people around her. I’d guess many of her critics have moved in way after improvements began. BTW, CDALocal was immediately attacked for this post by the usual suspects.
