NIC Trustee Q-and-A Has Hart Query

I just returned from the noon luncheon of the Kootenai County Democratic Club for NIC trustee candidates, where Norm Gissel asked about a hypothetical situation that was disallowed by moderator Mary Lou Reed. Who didn't think it was relevant to the trustee races. But candidate Ron Nilson answered it anyway. In the hypothetical, Norm asked the 4 candidates what they would do about an individual who stole trees that supported children's education. Nilson said: "No way should anyone enter public land & take timber that belongs to our kids." Rep. Phil Hart's name wasn't mentioned once. But everyone knew who Norm & Ron were talking about.
