Widmyer Picked As ‘Best Leader’

The Inlander magazine, a weekly publication with a circulation of 51,000 in eastern Washington and northern Idaho, has once again named Coeur d’Alene Mayor Steve Widmyer North Idaho’s “Best Leader.” The magazine’s annual “Best of” edition hit newsstands Thursday. “It’s truly an honor to be recognized by the community I care so deeply about,” Mayor Widmyer said. “We’ve got a lot of work to do in Coeur d’Alene and I believe the city is on the right track as we continue to pursue great things.” According to the Inlander, 3,200 people cast a total of nearly 100,000 ballots in a multitude of categories in this year’s “Best of” edition. Last year, Mayor Widmyer was the overwhelming favorite in the same category just weeks after being sworn into office. The Inlander is a free publication available at many local businesses throughout the region.
