Committee OKs Anti-Bias Proposal 2-1

Update: From Sara Meyer Facebook page: This passed in committee by a 2-1 vote from the three council members on the General Services Committee. Councilman Adams voted against it.

Christie Wood and Tony Stewart of the Kootenai County Task Force on Human Relations will propose today that the city of Coeur d'Alene pass an anti-discrimination ordinance to protect the gay community on issues of housing, employment and public accomodations. Wood and Stewart will make the presentation to the General Services Committee when it meets at noon today in the Coeur d'Alene Library Community Room. Four cities have already passed a similar ordinance -- Boise, Sandpoint, Moscow and Ketchum.
