Disagreements Don’t Divide Us

In the Coeur d'Alene Press editorial Sunday, Editor Mike Patrick writes about the controversies that have hit Coeur d'Alene in recent years -- and how the Lake City has pulled together even when we're in disagreement: "Yes, we have disagreements; together, we confront agents of community division.
