In his latest newsletter, Reagan Republican spokesman Jeff Ward (shown in Facebook photo below) blasts opponents of Mary Souza and the partisan candidates he backs in Coeur d'Alene election:

"There is one big problem for this vision -- it does not include the vast majority of Couer d'Aleneians who live and work outside the few blocks of Downtown.  That is why the politicians who have forced this vision on the people of the city are now, with a single exception, abandoning the sinking electoral ship.  They now try to give the wheel to those who will stay the course. If they have their way, a Director of the Downtown Association, "Downtown Steve" Widmyer will be the next Mayor and downtown cheerleaders Kiki  Miller and Amy Evans will join "Get-along Go-along" Woody McEvers on the council.   First by fighting the attempt to hold the politicians accountable by recall, and now by themselves seeking those politicians' abandoned seats, this slate seems dedicated to pursuing this failed vision by using the people's money for unessential projects and high bureaucrat salaries over the taxpayers' strenuous objections."

DFO: I'm continually amused how Jeff Ward of POST FALLS tells us Coeur d'Alene residents what's best for Lake City.

Question: It appears to me that the Reagan Republicans are following the same playbook that resulted in their candidates being swept from the Coeur d'Alene School Board in May -- blast can-do incumbents and nonpartisan candidates in favor of their ideological partisans. What do you think?
