Coming To A Mailbox Near You
Mailers from state Rep. Kathy Sims, R-Coeur d'Alene, arrived in mailboxes in my neighborhood over the weekend. Rep. Sims has the red-white-and-blue working for her campaign literature. I consider everything on her list of accomplishments fairly boilerplate. But I did pause when she described herself as a community supporter and an "urban renewal watchdog." As a leader of the failed movement to recall former Coeur d'Alene mayor Sandi Bloem and three council members, I wouldn't call Rep. Sims a "community supporter." And I'm not sure I would use the term "watchdog" to describe her eyes-rolled-back-in-her-head opposition to urban renewal. Other than that? No problems.
