Poll: Hydros? Good Riddance

Readers on cdapress.com were asked how they feel about the death of the Diamond Cup hydroplane races that were supposed to take place over Labor Day Weekend. More than 1,000 voters weighed in, and here's how it came out:

  • Glad: 51 percent (686 votes)
  • Sad: 16 percent (207 votes)
  • Mad: 11 percent (150 votes)
  • None of the above: 22 percent (294 votes)

Question: It appears to me that there remains strong sentiment against hydroplane racing in Coeur d'Alene? Am I reading the tea leaves correctly?
