From a Facebook Friend: "I'm kind of amused by the comments and opinions that I have heard and read recently in regards to the mayoral race and city council members in Coeur d'Alene. The comments are coming from people who don't actually live in CdA. I understand it affects you, but if I am not mistaken, you don't get a vote."
Question: This brings up a great point: Why are so many out-of-towners, including some here, so interested in Coeur d'Alene city politics?
