McCrory Opposes Kennedy Pay Out

Since several of you have been discussing Bill McCrory's latest broadside against all things involving the city of Coeur d'Alene, I figure I'll post a link to his latest toxic screed, lambasting the request by Councilman Mike Kennedy to pay his legal bills for the 2009 municipal election. In case you've been hiding under a rock, Jim Brannon, pictured, is still pursuing his lawsuit to over turn his bitter 5-vote loss to Kennedy more than a year ago. Now, he and attorney Starr Kelso have appealed Judge Charles Hosack's adverse decision against them to the Idaho Supreme Court. Meanwhile, OpenCDA.com ally McCrory explains why the city shouldn't pay the $105,000 Kennedy accrued for making the mistake of beating sore loser Brannon. You can read McCrory's OpenCDA.com thoughts here. Interestingly, a poll being conducted by the Coeur d'Alene Press overwhelmingly opposes the city paying Kennedy's legal bills.

Question: Do you agree with any of McCrory's points?
