In one of those "Even A Broken Clock Is Right Twice A Day" moments, Dan Gookin of OpenCDA.com comments today that the city of Coeur d'Alene should foot Councilman Mike Kennedy's legal bills. Quote: "Like him or not, Mr. Kennedy bore the brunt of the cost of defending his position in the election contest because he was declared the winner. Now I don’t know the specifics, but apparently the lawsuit had to name him personally as defendant. That’s Idaho Code, and I think it’s wrong." More here. What do you think?

• Thursday Poll: Overwhelmingly, you Merry Hucksters (heart) the Idaho Education Association (or someone hijacked Thursday's poll, as seems likely as a result of the ha-huge number of voters). 288 of 361 (79.78%) voted that they have a positive image of the IEA. 59 of 361 (16.34%) said they have a negative view of the teachers union. 14 were undecided.

Question: Should the city of Coeur d'Alene pay Councilman Kennedy's legal bills, which amount to about $60,000 at this point?
