Former Coeur d’Alene restaurant owner Tom Sullivan, now an eastern Idaho resident and a Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate, will return to his former establishment in North Idaho on Friday for a free campaign benefit concert featuring Too Slim and the Taildraggers. The former Tubbs Cafe at 313 Coeur d’Alene Lake Drive is now O’Shays, where the concert will take place in the beer garden. “It’s a wonderful place that we have a lot of very fond memories from,” Sullivan said. “We hope that people will contribute to the campaign, but it’s a free concert”/Betsy Russell, Eye On Boise.

Question: In his background, Sullivan has a bankruptcy from his former Coeur d'Alene restaurant, owes the IRS $150K in back taxes, and has never run for office. But I give him credit for paying down his IRS debt from $600K (unlike an Athol legislator who will remain nameless). Anything else about Sullivan that you like?
