Adler: Coeur d’Alene Did Right Thing

Members of the Coeur d’Alene City Council on Tuesday night joined statewide leaders in the promotion of human rights in Idaho when they voted to enact an anti-discrimination ordinance to prohibit discrimination against their residents in the areas of employment, housing and public accommodations on the grounds of sexual orientation and gender identity. Like colleagues in four other Idaho cities that have enacted similar measures — Boise, Sandpoint, Moscow and Ketchum — they demonstrated once again that the real leaders on issues of civil rights in the Gem State are found not in the Statehouse, but in the neighborhoods and community centers where patriots gather to promote the concept of liberty/David Adler, director of Andrus Center for Public Policy at Boise State, via Idaho Statesman.

Question: Do you think this ordinance would pass in Post Falls, Hayden and Rathdrum?
