SR Edit: CdA Bloeming Under Current Administration

Issue: Our View: City in Bloem: CdA mayor continues to move community forward/D.F. Oliveria, Spokesman-Review

More Info: If Bloem did nothing else in the remainder of her second term, she'd go down in Coeur d'Alene history as one of its best mayors, maybe the best. Others have accomplished much. But Bloem has been preparing her community for change for decades, first as a downtown business leader and now as the first female mayor and only the second mayor to win two four-year terms. Fortunately, she remains enthused about her job and sees no end to the challenges.

Question: Who do you believe was the best Coeur d'Alene mayor of the last 25 years?
