Top Issues: Deputy Pay, Jail, Airport

A lot of Kootenai County's outlook in 2015 will depend on the two new commissioners elected in November to the three-person board. County Commissioner-elect David Stewart said his schedule shows he will be sworn in at 10 a.m. on Jan. 12. He has asked that fired Coeur d'Alene Airport Director Greg Delavan's employee file be on his desk by noon that day for his review. Look for an executive session shortly afterward, Stewart said Friday. While reinstating Delavan or hiring a new director will be his first priority in 2015, airport expansion also makes his to-do list, he said. Another top item on Stewart's list of priorities is a wage increase for Kootenai County Sheriff's Office deputies/David Cole, Coeur d'Alene Press. More here.

Question: What would you say is the No. 1 priority for Kootenai County in 2015?
