Recall Thread: Bloem, Quinn Confer

Mayor Sandi Bloem, right, one of the four targets of the RecallCDA attempt, confers with long-time, former Coeur d'Alene School Board trustee Wanda Quinn at the Stop the Recall rally Wednesday evening. Bloem and three City Council members -- Deanna Goodlander, Woody McEvers and Mike Kennedy (all in attendance) -- are under siege by RecallCDA for pushing ahead with scaled-down plans to upgrade McEuen Field without a public advisory vote. Quinn failed to win reappointment from the Coeur d'Alene School Board Thursday evening when Kootenai County commissioners picked James Purtee from a field of six applicants.

DFO: We'll use this post for generic comments on the ongoing recall controversy (firestorm?)
