Item: Edinger seeks to retain council seat/Tom Hasslinger, CdA Press

More Info: Coeur d'Alene City Council President Ron Edinger isn't pandering for votes. The seat 1 incumbent, former mayor and public servant for 40 plus years, opposes the proposed large scale changes to McEuen Field because he doesn't feel it represents the community's will, not to score any political points. "To suggest that I would pander for votes on a topic such as the redevelopment of McEuen Field, Tubbs Hill, the (American) Legion Baseball Field and Third Street Boat Launch would suggest someone knows nothing about me as an individual," Edinger said Wednesday in a press release declaring his run for re-election. "I will continue to be a strong, outspoken advocate for preserving Tubbs Hill and McEuen Field."

Question: Do you think Ron Edinger is pandering for votes with his opposition to McEuen Field changes?
