Huckleberries Online

Ah’m Your Huckleberry

The three Kootenai County Commissioners were looking quite dapper today at their 2 p.m. public meeting, all wearing ties. Piazza had on a green shirt and green tie. Currie had on a black shirt with a red tie. Tondee had on a maroon shirt with a maroon and white tie. During the public comment section Clerk Dan English commented on their "spiffy attire." "You would compete well against the mayor of Coeur d'Alene," English said. To that Chairman Currie said, "We don't want to compete." As everyone was filing out of the room, County Attorney Erika Grubbs quipped that they should start calling the commissioners the "babeishiners."
