Souza Claims Bias At Trustee Forum

In her latest newsletter, Mary Souza claims a fix was in at the North Idaho College trustees forum:

" I've just heard from people who attended the NIC Trustee Candidate Forum last night.  They tell me it was embarrassing because incumbents Judy Meyer and Mic Armon appeared to have the questions printed out in front of them, and the answers too!  And that questions were not  asked equally of all candidates, they were directed at certain people but not all.  Even a liberal supporter of the incumbents, who was present, said it was very unfair." More here.

IdahoGirl78: Each candidate was asked before the forum to choose 4 questions from a preselected group. The moderators then asked the candidates the questions that they chose. Since each candidate knew about the questions ahead of time, not just Mic and Judy, so they all had prepared answers. Nilson even corrected the moderator because he missed asking him one of his pre-selected questions
