MikeK: I haven't seen this ad yet, as I've been out of town. Cliff Hayes said he wouldn't stoop to using this frivolous lawsuit himself and thus I presumed he wouldn't condone its use as an election tool either. Thus I'm surprised that he and his treasurer Fred Ostermeyer have started down this path using other people to cast false aspersions on Dan English. I would have expected it from Ostermeyer, a known extreme conspiracy theorist, but I'll be very disappointed in my friend Cliff Hayes if this is how he is going to allow his campaign to be waged.
DFO: Many of us know and like both County Clerk Dan English and his challenger, former Post Falls police chief Cliff Hayes. Indeed, it'll be interesting to see if Cliff remains mum while ill-informed attack ads target English.
