As moderator, I thought things went well, but perhaps too well.  On the core substance, there seemed to be a lot of agreement among the candidates, and therefore maybe not enough distinction between candidates on this particular set of issues.  I thought the incumbents tended to be more knowledgeable on some issues, but that is certainly to be expected. Stylistically, I thought a few candidates did very well in our forum, and a few didn’t. (No, I won’t say which.) Incumbent councilman Mike Kennedy mentioned his Conservation Voters for Idaho endorsement, but the rest of the candidates weren’t particularly shy about touting environmentalist leanings either, which was a bit of a pleasant surprise/Terry Harris, KEA Blog. Remainder of Terry's review here.

Question: Do you think all the candidates for Coeur d'Alene City Council truly have conservationist leanings on local matters?
