Monday Poll: By almost 2-to-1, a plurality of Merry Hucksters (87 of 220, 40%) wants KVNI to select Post Falls Councilwoman (and Hux regular) Kerri Thoreson as the next host of its morning, local talk show. Dick Haugen, the former Voice of North Idaho finished second among the 5 people listed in the poll with 33 of 220 (15%) votes. 61 of 220 (28%) said they didn't care whom KVNI picked to fill the vacancy created by the recent departure of Rick & Teresa Lukens. Others receiving votes were: Brett Bowers, 14 of 220 (6%), long-retired Bob Hough, 13 of 220 (6%), and Dave Walker, 11 of 220 (5%). Only one person voted that the local station should tap someone from its downtown Spokane office to fill the vacancy.
Today's Poll: Repeal of 17th Amendment would allow legislator to pick a state's U.S. senators rather than voters. Who should pick the U.S. senators?
