Edinger Favors Public McEuen Vote

Item: Edinger supports public vote on McEuen Field: City Council president 'disappointed' he was not appointed to committee that helped design plan/Tom Hasslinger, Coeur d'Alene Press

More Info: Mayor Sandi Bloem couldn't be reached for comment on Friday, but said in previous interviews with The Press and at meetings discussing McEuen that she favors allowing the City Council to have the final decision on whatever conceptual plan is put before it for adoption. On Friday council members Al Hassell and John Bruning agreed. ... Councilman Woody McEvers agreed the plan was a long way from being completed, but should the topic of a public vote arise, it could be prudent for the City Council to consider.

Question: Would it be political suicide for the Bloem administration and the City Council to make significant changes to McEuen Field without a public vote?
