Adams: Urban Renewal Is ‘Fascist’

In responding to a Coeur d'Alene Press letter to the editor today in which Steve Adams calls urban renewal "fascist," Councilman Mike Kennedy writes on his Facebook wall: "Ever wonder why some people aren't taken seriously? Steve Adams says Urban Renewal is 'fascist.' Steve is an unsuccessful former candidate for city council and now he is saying the only economic development tool the state legislature allows cities in Idaho to use is 'fascist'? Really, Steve? Come on."

Question: Would you vote for a City Council candidate who not only disagrees with the concept of urban renewal but goes as far as to say it's 'fascist'?
