Malek, Amador host townhall

Education and liquor licenses were the hot topics of Saturday's town hall meeting with Idaho Representatives Paul Amador and Luke Malek.

More than 80 community members showed up at the Coeur d’Alene Public Library to listen to Amador and Malek talk and to voice their opinions on education, animal abuse, health care and poverty among other concerns.

Education dominated most of the 2 1/2-hour long meeting. One of the first questions asked was about what the state is doing to address the fact that schools always go to the taxpayers with levies because the state isn’t providing enough funding/Bethany Blitz, SR. More here.
