In the minutes of the Lake City Development Corporation, Coeur d'Alene Mayor Sandi Bloem addressed the LCDC board. She said:

The pending 2013 fall elections will be critical to the continued vitality of the community. LCDC needs to continue its communication efforts to the community to help CDA citizens understand the value of urban renewal; CDA’s locally controlled economic development tool. Full minutes here.

Question: A thought must occurred to me. Will Mayor Bloem become a major factor in the fall 2013 city elections, now that she has announced her decision to NOT seek re-election and can take her gloves off re: critics of urban renewal and other issues?
