Top Story: Brannon Challenges Kennedy To Do-Over During May 25 Primaries

In an e-mail sent to Huckleberries Online, challenger Jim Brannon has challenged incumbent Coeur d'Alene Councilman Mike Kennedy to a second election to settle their contested City Council election of last November. He wrote to Kennedy that he's willing to settle his lawsuit at the ballot box in the May 25 primary election. Brannon wrote: "I propose that the new election for Seat 2 be held as part of the upcoming primary. All the apparatus and people will already be in place. It would be a minimal cost to the City or County. Mike, I ask you to acknowledge the serious problems with the election. Join with me to request a new election. If we agree, I believe the City will agree and the Judge will order it. Then the necessary changes in the election process can occur in an atmosphere of cooperation. To ensure fair elections, let’s gather the people necessary to make the new election happen on May 25th. Time is short. Please let me know your answer."
